Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

For little folks, the Borrowers seem to have more than their share of big adventures. In THE BORROWERS AFLOAT they must find a new home after the departure of the human occupants from the cottage the tiny family has been calling home. This time they take to the river in a tea kettle as they head to a new home in Fordham Village, a model village. This tale is full of rich characterizations of the humans and vivid descriptions of the settings. Some books must be narrated by a British voice, and Norton's tales are such books. Lucky for us, Rowena Cooper is up to the task. She also does well switching voices from male to female characters, always managing to keep clear the notion that the Borrowers are small folks. Cooper is particularly adept at bringing out the emotions of the characters. P.B.J. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Product Description

Uprooted once again, the little people journey down a drain, live briefly in a teakettle, and are swept away in a flood. As irresistible as its predecessors.--Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars More adventures with the Borrowers, Aug 20 2001
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Borrowers Afloat (Paperback)
In this, the third book in the Borrowers series (after The Borrowers, and The Borrowers Afield), the Clocks (Pod, Homily and Arrietty) find that they must leave the safety of their new house and venture forth once again into the great big world. Setting their sights on Little Fordham, a miniature model town, the Clocks follow young Spiller out. But the world is a dangerous place for someone as small as a Borrower, and their voyage is filled with excitement.

Once again, Marty Norton has produced a story that is a lot of fun. Containing both plenty of adventure with a heartwarming story. My children and I loved this story, and you and yours will too.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Borrowers Afloat, Jul 16 2001
This review is from: The Borrowers Afloat (Paperback)
One time I saw a movie it was called The Borrowers. I thought it might be a little bit like the book. I thought it would be about borrowers who were on the river in a teapot. The cover gave a large hint. Borrowers are tiny people only about six inches high. Borrowers can not live without people. A family of three borrowers are living inside of a cotige wall,then the owners suddenly move out. There is one place called Little Fordham where borrowers live so they set out to find it. There were some parts that were slow but it got better toward the end. If you like books with little people mabye you want try it?
