Description

Humorous, heart-warming, and just plain entertaining, these stories by Newbery Medalist Jean Craighead George recall what life was once like as she raised three children and 173 wild pets. On any given day there may well be a bat within the refrigerator, an owl within the shower, or a crow on the kitchen table. Jean Craighead George’s respect for nature and its many creatures is evident in all of her writing. Here, she offers a personal, firsthand account of the numerous animals that made their way into her life and her books.

Jean Craighead George deserves to be ranked a number of the great children’s writers of our time. Of her previous books, Julie of the Wolves won a Newbery Medal and My Side of the Mountain is without doubt one of the most thrilling and engaging books ever written for kids. The Tarantula in My Purse is a memoir of sorts, telling the tales of the quite a lot of animals that experience passed through George’s house, from “The Screech Owl Who Liked Tv” to “The Goose and the Duck Who Were Arrested for Disturbing the Peace.”
