Love, freendship and kindness - this buik spikks a universal leid.' - Bear Grylls on The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the HorseDo you have a favorite saying', asked the boy. 'Yes', said the mole. 'What is it?' 'If at first you don't succeed, have some cake'. 'I see, does it work?' 'Every time'. This book spoke to me. From the beautiful words and gorgeous illustrations, it was a peaceful and heart warming experience. if i treat it like a book written in a foreign language, it's great - i can enjoy the pictures, and i can recognize the individual words even though the messages mean nothing to me. This scots translation is based on the BAFTA and Oscar winning short film ‘The Boy, the Mole. the Fox and the Horse’ 2023. It tries to give important, profound lessons about good and bad, struggling with emotional problems, self reflection, and many other topics in a minimalistic way. With some rudimentary drawings and many Buddha zen Yoda wise master style dialogues, scenes, and conclusions, it condenses essential philosophical, ethical, and psychological questions, issues, and problems to a level easy to understand for younger audiences.

I wish I could dislike it, because I have a very cold and mean soul and it would be very on brand for me to hate something that Chris Evans, Captain America himself, called the most beautiful book/Christmas gift possible and the marketing copy calls “hope in uncertain times.” Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

"I think I am grateful to have a glass" said the boy.This isn't directly related to the book itself but the author is a self-proclaimed Evangelist who has recently found Jesus Christ after being an atheist all his life. He has been speaking publicly about this before he published his book and has been previously described as the most famous evangelist in the UK. It does tie in with the very abstract clichés found in the book itself. I'm cynical about writers who talk about love and kindness and righteousness from the perspective of religion. We should not be teaching children that love and kindness stem from an omniscient being who made us in his image but simply because it's the right thing to do for the greater good, for a better, richer, greener planet. The story is so simple, beautiful, and adorned with such gorgeous phraseology and meaningful words that will blow your mind for its simplicity and beauty. The wonderful illustrations are a feast for the eyes and match the dialogue between these 4 adorable characters - perfectly. Best to list some of my favourite quotes that add so much to the meaning of life. I'm sure you will have a list too.... I spent a sunny Autumnal morning reading this book and honestly it could not have been more perfect.
