A review by bibliobrittish
Bernard Pepperlin by Cara Hoffman

4.0

This book was all my favorite parts of Stuart Little and The Tale of Despereaux all balled up into one and spat out into the modern era. It's whimsical and magical, an unbelievably approachable way to teach young readers to stand up for what they believe in, even when those who are bigger or stronger don't see or acknowledge their problems. A treasure for all ages.
I adored Bernard and his newfound friends. And I loved the new world he created for himself, and fought to make better, proving you don't have to return to where you came from just because it's familiar. And the narration! I wouldn't be surprised to see Gary Furlong join the ranks of Jim Dale and Stephen Fry in years to come. Absolutely stellar.
