Publisher Description: Featuring acclaimed humorist David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this illustrated collection of 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 #1 New York Times bestselling author Ian Falconer, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising. "Wickedly funny ...These are some of Sedaris's best stories ... The animals have given Sedaris's humor some new teeth: tiny and sharp, and sometimes even ready to draw blood."―The Los Angeles Times
