Bringing back the characters from Kartusch we are actually given a chance to meet up with Gabby who is a talker that just cannot sit still. The simple and easy-to-read story shows how too much the things we do to the exclusion of anyone else can drive us further apart.

The best part is Kartusch returns in this book and in his wise ways helps Gabby to learn the important lesson of listening and to share a story before learning more about her. I just the snake and he is so beautifully shown while it warming to know that he can taste tears with his tongue, which can also be a bit creepy for some.
I love these books. So cute.
