the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse

I read this yesterday. I mostly bought it for the absolutly awesome dawings and it served the purpose. But I feel like the writings of this book is somewhat obvious. Though the author said that it's a book for 8 to 80, I feel it might be more towrds kids and few adults who look at llife in a different ways. The book didn't resonate with me that much but I'm glad I read it. What all of you think? What's your take about the book?
