1. Tagged. It was made into a Disney movie with Reese Witherspoon in the 90‘s called A Far Of Place which is the name of the 2nd book. In the book the dog, Hintza, a Rhodesian Ridgeback plays a larger part. I‘ve always wanted one. 🐕
2. I don‘t have any pets. 😭 I would love to have a dog or cat though.
3. 🦒Giraffe for sure!!
4. Maybe an eagle so I can soar. 🦅

Blue Bell ice cream? ✔️✔️✔️
Neither me nor this ice cream will last long outside today. 😂 #iceicebaby #90sinjuly #greatstory #hintzathehero They made this and the second book into a Disney film with Reese Witherspoon called A Far Off Place.. use to be a fav which is why I read the books. The stories are almost completely different but I love them both.

I stopped by a couple of Goodwill stores yesterday and came away with this stack for $4.83. Has anyone read the two Van Der Post books? I saw the movie of A Far Off Place when it came out and remember liking it so I picked them both up. #bookhaul

Cinfhen Nice haul 😍📚🙌🏻 7y
Suzze Very nice stack! Can't believe the price. 7y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen Thank you! @Suzze Thanks! I got lucky. Apparently they do this thing with picking a color tag for the day and those items are half off. Three books were only 49 cents each! 7y
