"Don’t let the praise by highbrow critics scare you away from this 2004 story collection. We’re so much more likely to feel sympathy for an animal than for another person, thus the best fiction uses animals to define truly humane behavior. No one does this better than Joy Williams."

Very cute story! I used it as a read aloud for my fourth graders. They loved it! Unfortunately with state test prep it took us FOREVER to get through it. But, they begged me to read it at every opportunity. I'd say that's pretty high praise from a tough audience!

"If you are at all interested in what it’s like to work in the theatre, especially Broadway, this is the only book you need to read. It’s more fun (and accurate) than All About Eve and as someone who can recite Joseph Mankiewicz’s screenplay from memory that is high praise indeed."
