Heartwood Hotel: A True Home

By: Kallie George

Libby audiobook 2 hours

Read by: Amy Melissa Bentley

Published: 2017 (this version )2024

Genre: Children's fiction, talking animals

 

I had checked out a few short kids' audiobooks for when I took my grandson to Pizza Ranch and a play at NPMS (right before the blizzard started a few weeks ago). He chose this one to listen to. We only got halfway through, but I had him finish it the next week while I tried to get his brother down for a nap. Then I finished listening.

 

Mona is a little mouse whose house got flooded in a big storm. She came across the Heartwood Hotel and was taken in to help as a maid. Tilly the squirrel is not very kind to her, but Mona tries her best to help out and she appreciates the seed cakes and having a safe place to stay.

 

I like how brave she is in talking with the bear and coming up with a plan to foil the wolves. Cute little story. Apparently the author is working on book six in the series!
