Five friends sit happily on a windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. And the rabbit is just looking out the window because he likes to wait! What will happen? Will patience win in the end? Or someday will the friends stop waiting and do something unexpected?

Cute and Slow

3 stars

Something that I think is underappreciated in children's books is slowness. Not a sort of slowness to cause boredom but a kind of slowness that allows for pause and to engage in what's on the page. This book provides that, especially as the story is really just about some toys who are always 'waiting' for something and enjoying the company of those around them.
