I picked this up because I like Roz Chast's illustrations and a book with her drawings on the outside automatically looks appealing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am very glad I read it. Great fun!

A funny mix of fables, irony, satire, human typology and delicious language. I loled a lot, which is, I think, the ultimate aim of it.

I had a very difficult time getting into this; I read the first several stories over a period of weeks and months. Later, I read the rest in a day; I'm not sure if they were better or if it was just my frame of mind. Some were interesting, even poignant at times, and a certain story sticks with me, but I'm fairly sure my initial reluctance to enjoy it was a better summary for the collection than a stronger reaction to a few pieces of it.

This is not your typical book, at all. Each chapter is a different interpretation on the ideas of love through the metaphor of animals. It was amazing, quirky, witty, and uplifting. Highly recommended!
