A borrwer meets a human being and the last thing he sees is his shoe. The borrowers are very small and very clever . They can climb, they make machines and they want to fight ocious potter before he squashes them.

I like this book because it talks about small man . The small man was only ten centimetres tall and I like the photos in the book .

I like the story it is funny ,fictional and beautiful. And i liked the characters in the story a lot.

I didn't like the book very much because it was not interesting. Also I didn't understand some of the words. The borrowers are very bad. Also they were very dangerous ( )

This is very funny story.
And pictures are good.
This story has many fanny people.
Little people trick a man.
The man tell about it, but nobody believe it!
They fight. Very funny! ( )

Borrowers are small residents. They live peacefully under a floor.But the peaceful life is threatened by bad lawyer. The borrowers fight against the lawyer to defend their life. You see my review of this book and may think this book is serious story. But to tell the truth, this book is funny story. I think it is very interesting. ( )
