Even at nine I felt this was a bit cutesy. Talking animals interacting with the human world, knowing that catastrophe will come. (

This is a sweet kids book that was actually a present for Milly. I never read it as a child, but it reminded me a bit of the Enchanted Wood. It's a nice story about rival shops in a forest. I did find the very ending a little too cliched but basically enjoyed it. (

I picked up this trilogy while thrifting last week and started reading this book and found myself charmed and enchanted by it's story and the picture it paints. It's a lovely book, and it was a nice time to read something with a happy ending. I look very forward to starting the next book. It's very cute and well connected with the magic of nature - depicts that lovely dreamlike nature story that is nice to read when you want to relax. (
