Readers get a tour of Little Wood, "the tiniest town around," during which they meet the all-animal citizenry, including Mayor Owl and local artist Wolfie. The text is slight, but there's a wisp of suspense in waiting to find out what Wolfie, at her easel, is painting. The book's raison d'jtre is Gibson's winsome photographed art: handcrafted stuffed-felt animals in homespun settings.
