The Animal Family This "hauntingly beautiful tale for young and old" (New York Herald Tribune Book Week) is the story of a young hunter and how he "acquires" a family of his own. "In singing words, (Jarrell) catches the essence of family".--The Horn Book. A Newbery Honor Book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is the story of how, one by one, a man found himself a family. Almost nowhere in fiction is there a stranger, dearer, or funnier family -- and the life that the members of The Animal Family live together, there in the wilderness beside the sea, is as extraordinary and as enchanting as the family itself.
