The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy

What a delightful little book. For a book of few words it is packed with so much wisdom. I absolutely adore every character, and it is funny and cute as well as meaningful. You can read it in one go, back to front or one page at a time, and although it doesn’t take long to read I ended up really admiring the art and for some of the pages I sat and thought about the meaning for a while! The artwork is beautiful and so is the writing, I love that the words are handwritten instead of typed.

It’s a gorgeous book, I’m very glad I read it. I know this is very different to the other books I review, but I wouldn’t change a thing about it and that’s why I’ve given it five stars.

How dyslexia-friendly is it?

Incredibly friendly, and this book could be read by younger readers and adults (I think adults will probably have a higher level of appreciation for the wisdom in it though). I had a tiny bit of trouble reading some of the handwriting in a few places but that’s probably just me.
