Kid-friendly fun that is sometimes hard to follow due to extended sentences. Despite issues, The Borrowers is generally entertaining.

It's a pretty easy read, and very easy to love too. I think of the Borrowers as little brownies, or elves, with their own particular set of personalities that seem whimsical and quite different from us human beans, but yet not unlike us at all.
