My Opinion:
What a delightful tale of a gull who never loses sight of the one thing that mattered above all. Home.
A very endearing and heartwarming childrens' story, that teaches them there's no place like home.
A couple of words that a small child wouldn't comprehend, but no major issues. Kids will love it!
4/5
