Orris the Mouse and Timble the Owl are good friends, ever since Orris saved Timble from a trap.
Timble enjoys Orris’ company because he always has great stories to tell from the discarded books in the abandoned barn where he lives.
One night as they gazed up at the stars together, Timble offered something to Orris. Would he like to see more of the world around them?
The thought of leaving his safe barn is too big for Orris, and his instant answer is a definite NO!
But Timble continues to offer this gift to Orris until one day Orris gives a different answer…
Another gorgeous story from one of America’s literary giants – Kate Di Camillo. Orris and Timble are firm friends, and this gentle early chapter book brings them even closer together.
This is part of a series, but there is no need to read the 1st two books to really enjoy this episode.
This story will make a perfect bed-time story, read-aloud to young listeners or stepping stone from early chapter books to longer reads.
