A Finder's Magic by Philippa Pearce
5.0
A charming little story of a boy's search for his lost dog! With the help of a mysterious old man, he interviews various animals, including a bad-tempered cat, and pieces together the mystery of his dog's disappearance.
This short book has all the magic and charm I've come to expect from the author, with her own blend of delightful writing. Every word is crisp and cool, or warm and honey on your tongue. The smallest, most everyday things take on a glow when this author brings her writer's magic to them.
The sketches are lovely and fit perfectly with the story. The whole thing reminds me strongly of Beatrix Potter! This would be a great book to read aloud!
