This little book is adorable. The illustrations in particular are lovely, making you feel like someone looking in on the animal characters. This is a bit longer than the usual book for about 5-8, but I like that, because there are some children who outgrow one sentence per page type books right away. This book has a peaceful cadence to it when read aloud. It would be a great story for bedtime, when you are winding down the day.
Thank you to Star Bright Books and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
This was really cute and funny. I read it with my 8-year-old, and he found it amusing. It reminded me a lot of the Frog and Toad books - it has that same bumbling silly vibe. In fact, many of the adventures were reminiscent of ones that Frog and Toad would have gone on. It's a perfect quick and entertaining read for kids.
The reading level isn't difficult either, and my 8-year-old had no trouble reading it aloud. So I would recommend it as a fun read-aloud for a 2nd-3rd grade reading level and also as a fun story to read to younger kids.
The illustrations have a sketchy, old-fashioned feel reminescent of the original Winnie the Pooh books, with warm colors that draw you in. There is a lot of humor in the expressions of the animals as well as in the movement of the lines of the illustrations. The illustrations match the tone of the text perfectly and enhance the impact of the story being told.

A sweetly clever children's book with lovely, old-fashioned illustrations and a gentle friendship between the titular animals, reminiscent of Frog and Toad. The three stories that make up this particular book were each engaging, heartwarming, and quietly funny. A delightful bedtime read.
