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.
