"Things have never been better in Animal Town. All animals are free, and animal does not kill animal." In an anthropomorphic world reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm, predator and prey species of the American prairie have built a democratic, capitalist society where animals live together in harmony. Then, for the first time in memory, a predator kills a prey. The tragedy triggers a resurgence of species-based politics that threatens the very existence of Animal Town. With direct, accessible prose, dry wit, and penetrating satire, Animal Town is a prescient cautionary tale, exposing the danger of far-right and far-left political tribalism. Its nuanced and sophisticated treatment of contemporary politics, grounded in the words and actions of American political and cultural leaders, is related through the compelling story of a young jackrabbit's struggle to understand the nature of freedom, a weasel's quest for wealth and power, and the conflicting dogmas preached by a zealous fox and a radical gopher. Animal Town is a book made for the political moment but rooted in perennial wisdom.

Chantelle has an accident one afternoon; she forgets to put the lid back on the Nutella jar. The chocolate spread melts out of the kitchen and into the garden. Later she finds little footprints in the chocolate. Something compels her to walk around the tree and shake its low branch and that's how she discovers Animal Town. In a delightful series of stories Chantelle meets the inhabitants of Animal Town including Inspector Churchill, the bulldog policeman, Charlotte and Peterson rabbit and many others. Although Chantelle cannot enter the town because she doesn't have things like fur and whiskers, Churchill allows her to stand at the gate and watch their lives go by. One day a strange thing happens, the animals start to argue, and be cruel to each other. Will Animal Town ever be the same again?
