“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children
is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
One of my favorite kid's books is Owl at Home by Arnold Lobel (who also wrote the Frog and Toad series). I read it again just before writing this post, and Owl is such a funny character! He wants to be upstairs and downstairs at the same time, he's afraid of the "bumps" at the foot of his bed, and he has the strangest recipe for tea. Owl is pretty pessimistic, but at the same time he's everybody's friend--even Winter and the moon!
Yes! Owl at Home is my favorite too (as you might have heard once or twice)!! It's funny yet poignant. I totally agree with C.S.Lewis.
