In the course of these encounters with the frog and toad, the rook, the rat, the hare, the snake, the peewit, the mole, the woodpigeon, the squirrel, and the owl, Tommy&#8217;s heart did soften, and, as the barn owl had predicted, he became a friend to all the animals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Additional information:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ages: &nbsp;<\/strong><em>7-10<\/em><span><strong>Length:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><span> <\/span><em><span>156 pages<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Format:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span>Paperback, Ebook<\/span><\/span><\/em><span><strong>Illustrations:<\/strong><\/span><em><strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span><span><span><span><strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span>&nbsp;Black and white<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Year published:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span>2009<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><span><span><span><strong>ISBN:<\/strong>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><\/span>978-1-59915-376-6<\/em><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><strong><span>Genres:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span>Natural History, Animal Stories<\/span><\/em>                    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Purchase book at Amazon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Add print book to cart<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Add ebook to cart<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>1.
