Personal Review:
I liked the feel of this book, especially the talking animals. That said, it had a concern that ate at me the entire time. Please stop reading here if you do not want spoilers!!!
My concern: I did not like that Dewey just decided that he
was going to burn down his barn. Granted, we don’t get any insight about him
throughout the book so I am not able to fully understand his opinion on why he
would want to do such a thing. I kept thinking that somehow the animals would
realize it was all a mistake and that they would be safe after all. Nope, not
the case. I just can’t imagine why anyone would want to burn down a barn full
of animals. That makes me very sad.
The redeeming quality is that the animals were smart enough
to get out and find a home that really loves them. I am hoping that I just
missed a key part in this book. The parts I did like were - I really loved the
dialogue, the illustrations, and the inventiveness of the animals. I really
wanted to give/share this one with my niece, but I am not sure what she would
say. Maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal for her. I’ll give it some additional
thought.
Happy Reading!
Happy Reading!
