The Animal Family - by Randall Jarrell (Hardcover)

Review Quotes

"Unmistakably the best in many a year, a timeless and universal story." -- New York Times Book Review

"Like many of the great books of fantasy, The Animal Family is written by a poet. In singing words, he captures the essence of family." -- Horn Book Magazine

"This tale of a lonely hunter and how he acquires a family is the - stuff' from which a lifetime of dreams and epiphanies is made." -- School Library Journal
