A new favorite! Wholesome, quirky, with so much heart. Anthropomorphism at its finest.

A surprisingly good read!

I'm not generally a fan of taking animals, but this story was fun and well-writren. The author developed the characters so well that I felt myself holding my breath of things in the story got a little tense (don't worry, no spoilers).

A really nice, fun, easy read.

I like the concept, and the first half is quite charming, but there isn't much of a plot and the second half is rambling and drags out.

This put a smile on my face. A sweet, feel good story, very fairy tale-ish.
