A picture book for anyone who loves libraries, featuring anthropomorphic animals in a picturesque, autumnal village who gather in Moose’s living room to hear fairy tales read, until it is too crowded to do so. [… ]Although Moore’s animals behave like people, the badgers and bears, foxes, hares, beavers and wild pigs also retain some of the essence of themselves, while the misty atmosphere of Moore’s rural scenes, which have depth and detail, suggests magic and imagination. She creates a world that readers will long to inhabit, but also recognise, because they understand how books can make places happy and cosy.
