This was a very sweet story full of adventure, beautiful illustrations and a cute storyline.  The animals and characters were very well developed and the atmosphere was narrated terrifically.  It was a bit long for a younger reading book and I did feel for myself it dragged a bit in parts.  I would however recommend this to all, if you like fantasy, wildlife and adventure, this is a great simple read.

Wildwood (Wildwood Chronicles #1) by Colin Meloy was quite a delightful MG fantasy adventure series opener. I didn't have any expectations for this but it was just nice. The art really suits it. Oddly, the story about the art reminded me strongly of The Busy World of Richard Scarry (Lowly Worm was always my favorite from that series and when I was a kid I would have killed for an apple car). Anyway, I can't wait to read the sequel, Under Wildwood.
