The story is a whole wild tale true to Van Dusen form and the illustrations had all 6 of my kids ages 14 and under huddled around trying to catch every detail!
This Book Is A Heartwarming Treaure!!!
Published by Anna , 3 years ago
When I saw that Chris Van Dusen had created a fully illustrated book about animals, I knew I had to get it!
Because of the other books by him I had read I knew I would love this one, but the story was even better than I imagined!
The story line is touching, as I read it out loud to my family I found parts of it hard to read without a shaky voice-it was so moving and heart warming!
If you love animals and believe in the power of love and coming together as one, and truly being there for others when they need you most-you will love this book.
Amazing how a simple story with colorful pictures can have such a Big impact.
