==Emily's Review== | ==Emily's Review== | ||
+ | I enjoyed this story so much more than I expected. It is essentially an Arthurian Legend starring a cast of talking animals. A sort of underground animal version of Camelot, that even has its own knights of the round table. It reminded me quite a bit of Tale of Desperaux, with a touch of Redwall and even a bit of Game of Thrones mixed in for good measure. | ||
− | + | This story is filled with great messages - even a very small creature can change the world, girls can be commanders and knights, and when everyone works together, amazing things can happen. | |

− | + | Magic, battles, talking animals, and brave heroes - this story has a little bit of everything and would make for a rollicking good read-aloud! | |
