One of the first chapter books that I've read aloud to Akiva. We enjoyed this one over the course of almost three months of intermittent bedtime story reading. I found the accented speech of some of the characters too hard for him (at age 4), so I edited some of it as we were reading. There were just enough illustrations to give him something to look forward to in each chapter and he and I both loved the idea of little people living in the walls and floors of the house. He did want to confirm that "Borrowers are make-believe; they aren't real." I'll look for the sequel at the library to read more about these characters.
This is a cute and entertaining story! I don't really have much to say about it, but I am glad to have read it and am looking forward to read the next books.

Adults my age seem to remember these books with great fondness. I did not read them as a child, but I didn't fall in love with this book and I doubt I will read any more in the series.
So I just reread this book for Reading Olympics, and I still don't love it, but I did enjoy it more this go round than a few years ago.
