This adorable book is all about a little hare who lived in San Pasqual Valley when the San Diego Wild Animal Park interupted their normal way of life. The new neighbors moved in and the hillarity, and adventure, began. "Elephants indeed! If he kept thinking like that, the next thing he might imagine he saw would be something really weird - like a giraffe. The next thing Finsterhall saw was a giraffe. He fainted dead away." I remember well my poppa reading this book to me when I was a little girl. I found it in a closet tonight and started reading it to my little girls. It's informative hidden inside all the fun. Writen from the point of view of several different native animals: hares, bobcat, eagle, the story is clever, heartwarming, and often based on true occurances reported durring the early days of one of the most successful transplanted animal experiments in history. If you can get your hands of this rare little, hardback book, illustrated by Bud Root, hold on tight and don't let it go! It's a gem. A good one if you liked Watership Down.
