A review by msrcreation
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

2.0

After all the praise this book has gotten and all of the love the movie had as well I really expected a lot. Now I will say the art is lovely. Especially the more full color watercolor pages. I really enjoy the style the characters are in. Outside of that though this was pretty disappointing over all. The story is fine. Nothing really rememberable. But my biggest issue with this book was the font. I get that it’s supposed to flow with the drawings but it is impossible to read. I had so many moments where I had to reread a word to figure out what it was. I really expected so much more out of this but it was truly disappointing.
