The Tarantula in My Purse: And 172 Other Wild Pets Paperback - 2019
by Jean Craighead George; Richard Cowdrey (Illustrator)
Acclaimed author-naturalist Jean Craighead George shares her true adventures living with a variety of wild animals--including a mischievous crow, a duck with an arrest record, and a Houdini-like boa constrictor.
First line
My children, Twig, Craig, and Luke, were the third generation of Craighead children who brought home wild birds and beasts to have and to contemplate.
From the rear cover
Humorous, heart-warming, and just plain entertaining, these stories by Newbery Medalist Jean Craighead George recall what life was like as she raised three children and 173 wild pets. On any given day there might be a bat in the refrigerator, an owl in the shower, or a crow at the kitchen table. Jean Craighead George's respect for nature and its many creatures is evident in all of her writing. Here, she offers a personal, firsthand account of the many animals that made their way into her life and her books.
