review 1: A dog, a mouse, and a cat live happily together near the sea. Dog did the gardening, cat did the housecleaning, while mouse did the cooking. They all were very happy, until a sly fox came floating across the shore. He was from the “Winds of Change Trading Company.” He planted secrets in the ears of cat, mouse, and dog. Soon, they all were fighting and mouse ran away. He found himself in trouble, and cat and dog saved him. This is a wonderful story of friendship and forgiveness. One of Mini Grey’s best written stories. Again, though, the pictures form a busy collage making it difficult to know where to read next. This book is recommended for children ages 3 to 6 - but again, I wouldn't read this to to anyone younger than Grade 1.
review 2: Three friends wi... moreth divergent talents and interests live by the sea in what turns out to be uneasy harmony. A stranger comes into their lives, sowing resentment among the friends. Things come to a head when the friends almost lose their lives in the ocean, having driven one of their number to attempt to leave home. When they return to their house they discover that the stranger has left and stolen their boat. Their lives, however, are not lessened by his duplicity and manipulation. His encouragement to each individual leads them to richer experiences of life.The lesson here may be that good things can come from even the jerkiest of jerks. Or maybe that friends should stick together even when they feel like their paths are leading them away from each other.So...do with that what you will. less
