Beautiful reflection. Anthropomorphizing the creatures of the natural world is a marvel of human imagination and engages all minds that are open to it. When we began homeschooling 40 years ago, the local community included parents who didn’t allow their children to read stories where “animals talked”. We thought differently, of course.
Wonderful, Mrs. Finley, just wonderful. Congratulations!

That’s wild!
I love your post. I was familiar with the other books you mentioned but had not run into Grasshopper. I will have to find a copy.
It’s a treat! “The Voyage” is my favorite ;)
