Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary

by Ian Falconer, David Sedaris
$9.90
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary

Witty fables reflecting life's odd, poignant moments.

If you enjoy sharp wit meshed with the absurdities of life, "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk" might just be your next favorite read. David Sedaris takes the mundane and the mad from everyday life and wraps them in an animal fur coat, offering both laughter and a touch of poignancy. The charm of this book lies in recognizing our own human follies in the feathered, furred, and scaled characters of these creatively spun tales.

Description

Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this illustrated collection of animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life. In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members. With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.
