(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Jon Agee. An overly fastidious woodchuck finds his tidy life disrupted by the arrival of a child--not his and his wife's, but a demanding, ungrateful human toddler they find abandoned outside their burrow. This funny commentary on parenthood is blithely genteel even as it encompasses some hard realities. Humorous and lively, Agee's sketches add child appeal to a tale that might otherwise verge on the adult.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1998
