My Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

4.5 stars & 5/10 hearts. This is such a sweet, lovely book. It’s written simply enough for first-graders to read but it’s beautiful enough and written well enough for any age to read and enjoy. I loved the descriptions, the gentle pathos and humour... it was so sweet. I am so eager to read the next books in the series.
