This was fine? Sort of fun (the discussion of the meal at the Beavers made me hungry, Brian Jacques eat your heart out,) but I don't know that this aged very well--or rather, I think I outgrew this and so returning to it, I didn't find it especially compelling or interesting. It wasn't a bad book, just not as interesting as I remember it being. This might be another situation where screen versions have replaced parts of the book in my head, or the audiobook didn't hold my attention as much, but I just wasn't as drawn in to this as I thought I would be. But I can definitely see that a much younger person would like it, and since it's meant for them, I'd recommend it on that basis!
