SQUIRREL SEEKS CHIPMUNK

"If you've ever behaved badly in front of David Sedaris, he may have turned you into an animal" 

- Kristin Tillotson, Minneapolis Star Tribune 

David Sedaris's Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is the best thing I've read recently. It is a collection of sixteen witty short stories about animals (in the same way Animal Farm is about animals) that take on a multitude of human flaws. Hysterically funny, a little dark, one of these bizarre little fairytale-like stories will definitely remind you of someone you know. To make things even better it is illustrated by Ian Falconer whose work can also be seen in The New Yorker and in the book and television series, Olivia. Here are a couple more of the illustrations:
