A review by felinity
The Battle Of Bubble And Squeak by Philippa Pearce

5.0

A delightful story, though I'll admit to being biased. As a child, I too had gerbils, and the charming illustrations had me entranced. (I only wished there had been more.) As an adult re-reading this story to an almost-5yo, I appreciated it even more, but from a different perspective. It all just felt so familiar, so real.

SpoilerAnd if you really want to know, both gerbils do make it to the end of the book for a happy ever after. Even Mrs. Sparrow mellows.
