Just in case you happen upon one of these Fern Hollow books, I thought I’d share this one today! It’s part of a series that’s a bit difficult to find, but they’re out there. The siblings bicker at one point of the story, which is what separates them from the rest of their class.
A number of unrealistic components are seen throughout–from the teacher not noticing two of her few students are missing to all the rabbits, badgers, frogs, and mice being the exact same size. Ha! But it’s a fun little adventure story.
