This was a cute enjoyable story, about small river dwellers called the minnipins. It has a fairly clear underlying message, but I didn't feel too bludgeoned with it. [Feb. 2011]
It was all right but I didn't find it to be any thing special. The characters were quirky and enjoyable but I was intensely bored while reading after the 30th page or so. I couldn't tell you exactly why but this just wasn't a book that got to me or kept my interest.
Another childhood favorite serendipitously chosen from a library's shelf, not knowing what I was getting myself into.
