The Borrowers was a fun, cute little story that I enjoyed reading. I didn't feel like there was a lot of depth to it, but the setting was well-realized and imaginative. I think it would be a great book to read with young readers, as the adult would enjoy it, and using the excuse of Borrowers around the house afterwards would be a lot of fun.

I will say that the end, in which Aunt May implies that her brother may have made up the story about the Borrowers to be great. It put a huge smile on my face to think that Aunt May would have been tricking her niece in that way.

As I said above, there's not much to The Borrowers, but I look forward to reading it with my children when they are older, and the subsequent "imagining things around the house are disappearing because of Borrowers" play that will ensue.
