  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

Read this out loud to kiddo for story time. Cute animal characters with fun and loveable personalities dominate. Written in prose, the story moves quickly, but it is also intensely sad in several places as the author highlights ways that humans are frequently cruel to animals.
