About this product

Product Information

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.

Cute read but not typical Sedaris
While many of the stories are clever, I don't find these fictive tales nearly as funny or as precise as Sedaris' narratives about his own life.

Entertaining but not quite up to the writing of David Sedaris that I know and love. A good gift book.

I ordered this book several months ago, haven't finished it yet. Not funny enough to hold my interest. Andena
