A collection of modern-day fairytales set in the animal kingdom—something like Aesop's for the 21st century. I love how Sedaris weaves in humanistic quirks and animalistic behavior into the stories. The parallelism between humans and animals are uncanny and well-observed. Some stories are not of the faint-of-heart—especially animal lovers. I laughed out loud reading The Grieving Owl. There are also some very sad stories like the Motherless Bear that made me think about slavery and the helplessness of the victims.
