I've just listened to this whole audiobook this morning, it's only 1 hour long. My 7yr old and I have been listening at night but we often fall straight to sleep so we never finished it. Luckily I found the book for her for Christmas 😉
But, oh my, tears from me in the kitchen at the end! Even though it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Loved the atmospheric writing of Thiele and the connection children have with animals is just so strong.
