Toaff's Way by Cynthia Voigt

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. It has been some time since I have read an anthropomorphized animal story, so it took some adjustment. I wonder what it will be like for readers to adjust to the invented vocabulary and names, but it could be good practice for using context clues. I sensed the underlying messages about different groups getting along. There is a bit of humor thrown in, especially when the animals argue over what is in charge, and the description of sheep building a lake and stopping humans in the road is unique. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt.
