This book is so beautiful it almost makes you want to weep. If you are looking for a thoughtful and stunning book as a present for Christmas then look no further - it’s GORGEOUS! This is a wonderful story of unlikely friendships and love which has some fantastic illustrations some of which a a bit reminiscent of E H Shepard’s Winnie the Pooh drawings.
The boy first meets the mole and he is adorable - which is something I never thought I’d say about a mole since ‘the little gentlemen in black velvet’ wreak annual havoc with my lawn! He is an optimist and feels that most things are better for cake. Absolutely. Totally with him. I love all the illustrations but there are some of the horse that are simply amazing and moving. I love the sentiments of the book and it’s one I’ll go back to time and time again. What is so clever is its simplicity which actually makes it very powerful.
Just wonderful and I’d give it five million stars if I could!!!!
