Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and
heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales
is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human,
the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance
to the insanity of everyday life.
In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers
commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a
complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles
to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The
Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is
separated by prejudiced family members.
With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the
bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories
are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and
surprising.
