1 Books also appear listed in the category of the main animal.

 

2 Certain Poor Shepherds, The Book of the Dun Cow, and The Book of Sorrows are religious allegories.

Please see main entry (under Birds) for more on the latter two books.

 

3 Wild Animals I have Known, Pork and Others, Krag, the Kootenay Ram & other Stories,

Wild Animals of the Southwest and The Secret Herd are collections of short stories.

Pork and Others is particularly grim and depressing, and, while well-written, is not recommended for

children or the easily disturbed.

 

4 Sandeagozu gets a recommendation with qualifications-- it is unnecessarily gruesome in areas, but still

deserves notice as being one of the few books to feature snakes as sympathetic characters.
