A quick, enjoyable read for animal lovers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Era Zistel has a nice way of telling animal stories which lets the reader get to know each animal through her observations. This book tells the story of Squeak, an unusual cat, two goats, Sampson and Pixie, and a chipmunk named Pest. Other chipmunks and some mice are featured as well. The book is an easy read and is basically her observations of her animals - there is no dynamic plot, just the story of everyday life with some good companions. Zistel's voice is easygoing and this is an enjoyable, relaxing read for any animal lover.

this book is magical...the relationship between author and her "good companions" is something that most of us never achieve in a lifetime, be it with human or animal. it will break your heart with its simple, poignant story. i read it at work and cried. then i gave it to a friend at work, with the warning "do not read this until you get home", and then a bit later, saw her own face, red from crying...if you love nature and more importantly, animals, this is a must read. the author is brave and noble, but her good companions are so much more so..re-affirms why we're really here, and what is really important in life.
