APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Settle into the warmth and magic of this sweet and poignant audiobook, packed with wisdom for both kids and adults. Charlie Mackesy’s simple tale follows a boy who befriends a mole who’s very fond of cake. When the unlikely duo meets a fox and a horse, they have many opportunities to learn about the value of kindness and friendship. We were enchanted by the sweet dialogue that runs through the story, which provides simple, unexpectedly philosophical reflections about the true meaning of life. Mackesy is a warm narrator who really captures the life-affirming power of his tale. If your family loves the beauty and innocence of Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit, you’ll want to listen to this story again and again.
