I really liked the imagery and aesthetic of this book
What the Five-Year-Old thought: "They got a lot of things from the boy, but -- this is the sad part -- they didn't get to keep them because they had to escape right after it. But I recommend that you read this book for yourself and see all the things I enjoyed about it."

Charming. Wonderful world building. I want to know more about the time when there were multiple Borrowing families living in that house.

This was one of my childhood favorites and the 2012 movie was excellent. Time to read it to the girls!
Having recently watched the film "Arriety" I thought I better reread the book. It's always fun to revisit their world and I do like Arriety and Pod and Homily. It's not a very long book, but we get introduced to The Borrowers and what they are like. [2014]
Love these stories. [2003]
