The Borrowers Aloft Review

I just finished reading this book to David last night. This book is the fourth book in the series. We have read a least two others in this series. I try to read them as they come into the library but they don't always have complete series.
Well, onto the review. This book talks about a family of borrowers named Pod (Father), Homily (mother), and Arrietty (daughter) Clock. The story explains that they don't want people to know that they exist so they keep to themselves and stay hidden. They come out early in the day or when it is late. Somehow they are discovered by an odd couple and they come up with a way to capture them. Their plan works and they take them to an attic and are well taken care of. I don't want to go too much more in detail but it talks about their ideas on how to escape and what the couple plans to do with them. You need to read the book to find out. I enjoyed it. I always recommend reading a series in order that they were written but in this series you don't have to to understand what is happening.
It is great as a read aloud book.
