Annie and the Wild Animals by Jan Brett

3.0

A rather odd story and yet I do like it. Annie has been through a long winter and everything is covered in snow. She plays with her cat and one day the fat lazy cat runs away. Annie misses someone to play with so she begins making corn cakes and leaving them by the edge of the wood trying to lure something to play with. In the borders, we see Annie’s cat living in a tree about to give birth. Annie, before long, has a herd of unruly beasts eating her corn cakes and wanting more.

Jan’s artwork is amazing here. I love the moose and the bobcat. The artwork is so beautiful as you would expect from Jan. She has such an eye for those tiny details. I just love her artwork. Never fear, Annie gets her cat back.

The nephew thought the story was pretty good. He likes seeing all the interesting animals and he wants some snow like Annie had. He’s ready to build a snowman. He gave this 2 stars. He said it would be cool if he could leave food and get a moose in his yard.
