Join in on a lively look into the animal world. Twenty-two original stories and poems by Caldecott-winning artists Alice and Martin Provensen take you on a merry romp through farmyard, zoo, and forest. Here you will visit the barber for a lion's hair-cut, meet a tiger having a very unhappy birthday (no one is brave enough to come to his party!), and outsmart a wily fox. There is even useful and humorous advice, including "How to Recognize a Wolf in the Forest" and "How to Sleep Through the Winter." And, of course, all of these poems and tales are surrounded by the authors' engaging and ingenious art. Full of fun and imagination, this remarkable collection is sure to enthrall and delight all ages--a wonderful addition to any storytime.

Front flap: "Once a man and woman and boy were wrecked on an uninhabited coast. The boy's mother and father grew old, and at last the boy, a man now, was left alone. There in the wilderness he saw and did many wonderful things, but he had no one to show what he had seen or tell what he had done - he was alone. This is the story of how, one by one, the 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. If you like wild animals and desert islands, if you want a second family besides your own, this is the book for you, a book that will find a place in your heart alongside Randall Jarrell's and Maurice Sendak's famous The Bat-Poet."
