I like the way Max and Little Echo accept each other and work together--as any good adventure team would. The maze of tunnels is especially fun to follow and identify critters and what some are doing. It is such a delightful read and would make a good bedtime story. It teaches one to find that own courage to be themselves especially with the right friends. I love how Echo is represented as a mouse who finds its courage to voice its big thoughts. Little Echo by Al Rodin is beautifully illustrated. I loved this story! It is a great little story about finding the courage to speak up. It is also about friendship.
