This is a lovely school aged kids book! The story is sweet and easy to get through and the characters are delightful and each have their own well-developed personalities. Also as an adult reading it, there are some genuinely hysterical lines just from a pure innocence perspective. Adults and children should enjoy this book.
Also, since the characters are largely animals, i am not sure if the content warnings I’ve chosen are quite accurate, but there aren’t really ones to account for this particular story. Lol. There are just some sensitive topics that adults may want to be prepared for in talking with the children.
