Four unlikely friends

The boy, mole, fox, and horse bond

A hug in a book

Thanks for reading

Another entry into Judey Kalchik's unofficial #BookReviewHaiku challenge.

This is, in case you didn't know, about Charlie Mackesy's wonderful, and I don't say that lightly, book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

Did it make me cry? Yes

Did it make me feel warm and snuggly inside? Yes

For Judey's awesome entry:
