I love the story, however it is too advanced for my little right now. It is waiting on our bookshelf for a few more years. I wish the illustrations were less busy, and were easier to see. Oct 05, 2020

I love this story. As an animal lover myself, I like stories that have messages of empathy and animals combined, without being sad. This is that story! Feb 21, 2020
