The Laddie, the Mowdie, the Tod and the Cuddie: The Animatit Story

Product Information

Special thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for giving me extra support towards my passion for reading and reviewing! It is like a collection of life quotes but also a reassurance that you matter and that's all it matters. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse have been shared millions of times online - perhaps you've seen them? They've also been recreated by children in schools and hung on hospital walls. They sometimes even appear on lamp posts and on cafe and bookshop windows. Perhaps you saw the boy and mole on the Comic Relief T-shirt, Love Wins?

Enter the world of Charlie's four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most important life lessons. My reason for sharing this personal and touching moment is this. I want to share a book with you that just blew me away, not just the personal experience. So please buy this book and if you have a child in your family circle, then read it with them or let them read it to you. Equally, you will not be disappointed if you decide to read on your own - whatever age you are. It is so beautiful and magical and is now one of my favourite books of all time – and it’s a children’s, adults and everyone book. However, I do agree with the views on the font. This will make it harder for younger children to read. The story is so simple, beautiful, and adorned with such gorgeous phraseology and meaningful words that will blow your mind for its simplicity and beauty. The wonderful illustrations are a feast for the eyes and match the dialogue between these 4 adorable characters - perfectly. Best to list some of my favourite quotes that add so much to the meaning of life. I'm sure you will have a list too....It tries to give important, profound lessons about good and bad, struggling with emotional problems, self reflection, and many other topics in a minimalistic way. With some rudimentary drawings and many Buddha zen Yoda wise master style dialogues, scenes, and conclusions, it condenses essential philosophical, ethical, and psychological questions, issues, and problems to a level easy to understand for younger audiences. This to me is not twee. Okay, occasionally, but in the same way as The Beatles "All You Need is Love" is. Mmmm, that comparison feels so cozy. The BBC One film, releasing on Christmas day will adapt Charlie's soothing drawings into full colour, giving a lovely new dimension to the story. The cast is set to include Tom Hollander as The Mole, Idris Elba as The Fox, Gabriel Byrne as The Horse and newcomer Jude Nicoll as The Boy. Here, you will find them together in this book of Charlie's most-loved drawings, adventuring into the Wild and exploring the thoughts and feelings that unite us all.

This book spoke to me. From the beautiful words and gorgeous illustrations, it was a peaceful and heart warming experience. Love, freendship and kindness - this buik spikks a universal leid.' - Bear Grylls on The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy. 'Help,' said the horse. 'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up"Tell us why you liked or disliked the book; using examples and comparisons is a great way to do this. This scots translation is based on the BAFTA and Oscar winning short film ‘The Boy, the Mole. the Fox and the Horse’ 2023.
