It's only a matter of time before the animals of the Hill find out just who is moving in, and they may be a little bit surprised when they do."Robert Lawson has created. . . a whole, fresh, lively, amusing world." --The New York Times"A skillful blending of humor and whimsy, Robert Lawson has given a distinct personality to each animal, not only by his equisitely fine drawings but by word pictures as well." --Library Journal
