The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse

A beautiful and automatic classic!

Summary:

An illustrated journey of a boy and how he befriends three animals on his way. This is not a plot-centered or linear storyline, but a short episodic book with little snippets of wisdom.

Verdict: 10/10

This was listed as the book of the year, and for good reason. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

It’s so charming. All of the illustrations are lovely and simple ink paintings and drawings. And the lines that go with them are such simple phrases of wisdom.

It’s short and sweet. Perfect for any age group, whether it’s a bedtime story or a philosophical break from the every day.

I read the whole thing in about 15 minutes. The author designed it so that you can flip it to any page and just start reading. I keep a copy at my desk in case I need some encouragement or a quick pick-me-up in the middle of the day.

This book is the next Winnie the Pooh. An automatic classic!
