![]() ![]() This beautifully written and highly imaginative story about Adam (of Adam and Eve fame) is full of wonderful creatures, the original animals and birds from the Garden of Eden, who are friends with Adam and help him with a project: to gather all the scattered bits of the Garden and bring them together again. ![]() I especially loved a kelpie-a water horse-who becomes friends with the main character on her journey. Slatter’s beautifully written dark fairy tale is populated with creatures from the sea, both real and mythological. ![]() In this updated version, a famous boy band called the WyldBoyZ are made up of human/animal hybrids, genetically modified creatures with both human and animal characteristics. I haven’t posted my review of this yet, but I absolutely loved Gregory’s clever take on an old horror classic, The Island of Doctor Moreau. Here are ten examples of recent reads, and I’m listing them alphabetically by title. But I haven’t read a lot of those lately, so I decided to focus on books I’ve read that have unusual animals in them, and by “unusual” I mean animals that are hard to classify as “familiar.” In some cases, these aren’t animals at all, but I thought they had animal characteristics that reminded me of animals. Today’s theme is “animals in books,” and I would normally go for a list revolving around dog companions. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!
