Annie and the Wild Animals by Jan Brett
3.0
I liked this book okay, but it's not really to my taste. The illustrations were definitely very artistic, though. They were also drawn very realistically. I can appreciate the book for the piece of art it is, but my rating reflects my own feelings/opinions, hence my relatively low three-star rating.
The story itself was engaging, but again not really to my taste. I don't understand why Annie was living on her own, and putting corn cakes out to try and attract a new animal to make a pet seemed quite dangerous. I felt she was lucky the bears, wolves, and bobcats she attracted didn't eat her, especially since they were described as mean-spirited.
I just wasn't able to enter into the spirit of the story. But if you're interested in reading it, please read it and form your own opinions. :)
