Review: First when even was this? I read it when I was a kid and honestly didn’t remember a thing so I wanted to read it again now as an adult and this is just not right like at all.
The characters seem to find it perfectly natural that a women gave birth to a mouse, they treat him like a human and allow him to do anything that he chooses to do without an issue; yet it is stated so many times he is a child. How is it then that he can go to the sail boats everyday or drive off in search of the bird he fell in love with? Shouldn’t he be in school learning? I guess not as he doesn’t act or get treated like he is a child.
This book was bizarre and not really in a good way either, I was thinking it would be more like the movie but it was a bit of the second movie and that was it, the rest was all so odd and not that great.
The story didn’t flow well, none of the chapters u til the end few even connected to each other, most of the writing was pretty drab and it wasn’t easy or fun to read. I was really excited for this book but was heavily let down by it.
This is by the author of Charlotte’s Web, so I don’t understand how this wasn’t good, or wasn’t written better with a full story but it wasn’t. This book didn’t even end, it was just suddenly over with nothing solved, nothing finished.
I don’t normally say this but watch the movies and forget the book exists, it’s not really worth your time at all. (gasp did I seriously say that?)

I really loved the movies and I’m ashamed I didn’t know the book existed anyway 🙈
