Product Description
A Newbery medalist recalls what life was like when she raised three children and 173 wild pets, describing her deep respect for nature and how it felt to share her daily existence with a wide variety of creatures.
Amazon.com Review
Jean Craighead George deserves to be ranked among the great children's writers of our time. Of her previous books, Julie of the Wolves won a Newbery Medal and My Side of the Mountain is one of the most thrilling and engaging books ever written for kids. The Tarantula in My Purse is a memoir of sorts, telling the tales of the various animals that have passed through George's house, from "The Screech Owl Who Liked Television" to "The Goose and the Duck Who Were Arrested for Disturbing the Peace."
