Delightful, short, and magical tale perfect for emerging readers. Its playful premise and charming illustrations make it adorable, even with the lack of depth to the characters and the simplicity of the story.

Really enjoyed this simple but multifaceted tale of a boy gifted the ability to speak to animals who goes on a little adventure with an owl.
