This review is from: The Tale of Jeremy Vole (Riverbank Stories, Book 1) (Paperback)

Jeremy is a very quiet vole who likes nothing better than staying quietly in his snug home on the bank of the canal. During his early morning swim one morning, Jeremy bumps into the legendary Great Blue Heron, who commissions him to warn the Riverbank about the terrible flood about to hit them. All Jeremy wants to do is hide in his safe little hole, but he knows that the lives of the other animals depend on him.

A truly delightful and inspiring story, The Tale of Jeremy Vole is a worthy read for any family. The descriptions and various animal characters are clear and well-written. With Jeremy as the unlikely hero, readers are swept into the story of selfless sacrifice and determination in the face of impossible odds. The pen-and-ink illustrations add to its charm and authenticity.
