5.0
The quimbles are tiny, no bigger than your thumb. They were sleeping in their cotton-stuffed box when it fell out of the car and landed in the woods!
The quimbles learn how to care for themselves and each other. They forage for food, make a shelter and plan the rest of their lives.
I loved this book so much! The illustrations by Branka Starr are so atmospheric and wonderful! I read this story to my little sisters over and over and over again. Then I read it to my three children. It's been a loved classic in our home.
There is something mysterious about the copy of this book that I have. Goodreads didn't even offer it as an edition to choose so I actually added it myself. Looking up the book cover on the internet produced one picture. The ISBN was given to another book. So I guess I own one of the only copies in the known world of this edition. Which is fine with me--I'm quite content with the fact that nobody else loves it like I do. However, it looks like an edition of this book was released in 2004 so I HIGHLY recommend snatching it up and reading it to your small children (ages 0-10). You won't regret it.
