Age range 4 to 8It' s not the journey that changes his life, but those he meets along the way. Albie is on a mission! The king has commanded him to deliver an important message to the neighboring castle. Dutifully he dashes away. But once on his way, something comes up . . . and then another thing, and then another! What is one to do when a squirrel, a tired mother and her many children, and an old animal need Albie' s help, just has much as his king? Told with clever parallel storytelling, Hans Christian Andersen Award winner Jutta Bauer, relays a charming tale about the importance of kindness and being true to oneself-even when you are on an important errand for the king.
"Albie narrates this German import, with colorful, charming cartoons bringing the tale to life. Meanwhile, a second story deftly unfolds in a wordless series of black-and-white shaded scenes below each of Albie' s episodes, detailing the porcine king' s rather lonely existence-an understated yet resonant message that friendship and connection are what enrich life. Subtle and kindhearted. " -Kirkus Reviews
