Have any of y'all read The Littles books by John Peterson or seen the TV show or movie?

I read the first book recently, and it was simple and fun, but not particularly memorable. I wrote a full review on my blog: http://jonathangarner.blogspot.com/2013 ... erson.html

I have read it when I was younger.

Read some of those back when I was younger. Not sure if we have them around anymore or not. I liked them, I think.

Great review, Jonathan.

*nods* I did think it was reminiscent of The Borrowers too, which I confess I enjoyed more than The Littles. But it's fun to read...something I call relaxed reading in which you don't have to think too much about the plot or worry too much about the hero (which I do a lot when reading other books :P ). :D

I used to be a really big fan of The Littles, though I can barely remember them now. Wasn't it a series?

Thank you, Idril. :D

Yes, it's good light reading.

Yes. I think I read most of them when I was a child.

I've never heard of them. :P

I read a few when I was young. I grew up with the Borrowers (which are much better.) And I'm afraid I scoffed at them quite a bit.
