The boy,the mole,the fox and the horse

My daughter bought me this book a while ago. I think it will be the next Christmas programme, taking the Snowman's place. I also found comparison with The Bible - forgiving, helping
and friendship.

I watched it again last night - haven’t seen the book - I found it so depressing and it made me cry!
I wanted the boy to be taken in with all the creatures!

Beautiful drawings and sentiments.

I loved it so much I embroidered a sweatshirt

I love this book. Given to me by my son. A keepsake.

Beautiful embroidery! Xxx

Agreed - the animated version enhances the book greatly.

I recorded it for my grandson on christmas day. He loves it and wont let me delete it. He still watches it a lot. I love it too.

Did a random watch of this with adult son. We were both so moved by it. Me more than him. I welled up when the horse asks the boy a question (can’t quite remember how it’s phrased) and he said ‘Hope’. A beautiful tale.

Lovely embroidery!

Lots of T shirts and posters on Amazon

But will the little boy ever get home? I have probably misunderstood.

I bought this for my adult daughter a few years back ….she loved it!

We watched it at Christmas. It was lovely.

Thanks Auntiflo, I will take a look.

But will the little boy ever get home? I have probably misunderstood.

I think this book's theme is that "feeling at home" and "belonging" resides in the heart, as opposed to a physical place.

The boy starts by searching for a physical place and not to feel lost and small, but finds the what he needs is there right in front of him in the sharing and truths of the animals he meets.

The book has arrived and I realise that it is too old for 4 year old. It will be kept for his older brother. I have ordered a Peter Rabbit book instead.

I’ve just watched it with a view to letting my sleepover guests watch it, but 6 year old is at the ‘ but why?’ stage, and I can hear all his questions already, probably mainly about the boy’s parents’ whereabouts and what they will eat! I think it’ll have to wait for a while.
