You are right. And it is a children book, but it's much more than that, it is simple enough for children to read, but as we grow up we can feel more about the story. It speeks about loss, love, friendship, never forget our inner child, about dreams and even death (he dies at the end, it was I thought). It made me laugh with the hat/elephant in a serpent (I thought it was a hat, I'm a grown up (insert tears))
Trying to make my husband read it, but like yours, he's a non-reader. I'm sure I'll keep reading it along my life.

Nikki (nikki_framke) | 276 comments Thanks for your message, Lisa! I'm such a book hoarder also! It's impossible to clear "shelves," a.k.a. the Kindle, when there's so many great deals all the time! I wish you luck on your challenge as well :)

Lisa Grønsund | 6163 comments JUNE LOG

31/05: We're half-way through 2017! What? I mean seriously, how/when did that happen?!

01/06: May was my best reading month yet! I ended up finishing six books, which is great by any standard, so I'm really pleased! :)

03/06: My reading plan for June is simple: to read the books that are already on my Kindle. Sounds easy, right? *rolls eyes* Because funds are limited this month, it should be possible. Fingers crossed! (Disclaimer: It won't be a "no-buy-month", but simply an attempt to prioritize.)
Although I won't be participating in any monthlies, I have a couple of buddy reads planned, as well as a TBR-Twin for the first time.
