Adorable knitted hedgehog (I needed a picture, so I googled "knitted hedgehog" cause I like hedgehogs, and "knitted baby otter" didn't yield anything good):

I've read Unnatural Creatures and enjoyed it so much that I am rereading it. From my point of view ages 10-14 (and above of course) is just about right. One or two of the stories are just a tad bit macabre & another too mystical for readers younger than 10 to grasp them.
ReplyDeleteOh good! I shall keep it in, then. And look forward to it myself!
DeleteI also did a review of House of Secrets by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini - http://caitieflum.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/house-of-secrets-by-chris-columbus-and-ned-vizzinni/
