Customer Reviews

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a charming book about Kindness.

The author suggests that this book is for people from 8 to 80. I'm a bit older than 80 and I loved the book and have loaned my copy to more than a dozen other people. It is easy to read and understand. The book flows with charming illustrations and descriptive language. You should be able to read this book in a single day, but it lends itself to rereading and sharing. I recommend this book to all who can read and especially to parents and grandparents who may read it to younger children.

This book NEVER ARRIVED but they did send me a piece of cardboard folded and taped with a shipping l

This is a WONDERFUL BOOK but it never arrived

Beautiful. Fine. Wise. Good.

I wish there were words that hadn't been worn thread bare to be able to describe this book. How in the world this doesn't have an overall 5 star rating is incomprehensible. The simple beauty and wisdom is every bit as powerful as The Velveteen Rabbit. A forever classic.

A MUST read.

Adults need this book for their soul. Read it without expectation or rush. You will understand…

This book has to be on of the Best I have ever read to my Nephew. So simply Wonderful.

I love this book

My friend gifted me this! Now I have had to gift it to my dear friends. Such a treat to the world!

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

The book is in great condition, but I was charged $10.49 for a used book that has a Goodwill sticker on it for $4.99. It's $11.86 for a brand new one through Amazon, I am not sure how I missed this but disapointing. The book doesn't deserve low stars - it is AMAZING, but the pricing increase was tough to see.

What a thought provoking book. I LOVE IT!!!

Don't let the size of this book fool you. It is very thought provoking, loving, kind, and true. It made me smile, laugh, and cry.

❤️❤️❤️

Only book that I have ever re-read multiple times…!!!!

Purchased for my daughters, mother, and mother-n-law. It’s funny, quirky, and emotional. Love it!!!!!!

Cute book but hard to read

I love the artwork and simplicity of this book. The words are a wonderful pick up on difficult days. However the handwritten words are difficult to read. I've shared this book with friends who are utterly unable to decifer the writing. Other than that it is an amazing little book of courage and gentle laughter!

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is among my most cherished books.

The simplicity yet depth of the messages and the beauty of the illustrations make this book a magical must have. The wonderful characters represent us all and speak from the soul. I have given this book to many friends and family members. Without fail they were all marveled.
