A review by mzrachelsuperlibarian
Miss Hickory by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey

3.0

It starts off as a typical, too long story about anthropomorphic animals who are trying to survive the winter. After multiple, redundant encounters with cows, crows, squirrels, and a cat, Ms. Hickory is beheaded on screen! Holy ****! That came out of left field. Though, as an adult reader, I did pick up on the foreshadowing of her hungry friend staring at her nut head. Still... I gave it an extra star because I liked the dark ending.
