I thought it was interesting because it was set at the countryside and it had nice animals in it. It was sheep, birds and a horse.

My favourite story from the book was Missing because it was a story about a little boy who stammers every time he try’s to talk

This was a 3 in 1 book and the 3 storys were very interesting. My favourite story was the last one becuase it was about a girl growing up with horses like her grandma and the horse she owned was called Barney and when she was older she had a little boy and named him Barney to like her and her grandma’s horses! (Her and her grandmas horses were both named Barney)
I gave this book a 3 out of 5!

It is okay l don’t like the pictures l didn’t like the bit about the bulls that come and chase the horse .by Amelie

I liked this book since there are three different stories in the same setting.
I liked Matt in the 3rd story because of how he gently took care of the bird who couldn't fly.
I would recommend this book to a few bird lovers since they might learn a thing or two.

It was a few different stories about animals...but I must admit I was a bit disappointed with it. I love Michael Morpurgo books (usually) and have bought many of them, but the first story seemed to be just a big long list of animals with not alot of story around them. The message of the lost lamb seemed to be go to any length to save them, regardless of your own safety - not very impressed with it, although glad the lamb was ok! It did have lots of pics which would keep youngsters interests.
