Little fur family

My copy of this book is extra small and has a furry cover, to match the Little Fur Family themselves. This story does not have tons of content, but children delight to read through the miniature sized book to read about a very sweet miniature sized family.

This is one of my toddler daughter's favorites. She loves the page where the Little Fur Child picks up the tiny tiny fur animal, especially the line about "kissed him on his little fur nose." I always read this section in a squeaky tiny voice and we have to reread that page at least 4 times before

There really is no conflict in this book, though there are characters and a mild story line.

I’m sure I must have read this book at some point in my childhood, but it didn’t make an impression on me. It gives me a melancholy feeling, and I’m not sure that’s what the author intended. The fur child seemed lonely.
