Humans fade in the framework,
while animals toast
to our memory.

In a desperate moment of realization, Gorydetails' books were running everywhere, wild and on the loose! :O
With a heavy net and putting tacky on the ground, I got as many of those little bastards for a trade before they all ran away! TT-TT
I lost several good ones in the battle... TT-TT
But in the chaos and dusty sunset's light, this is one I trade to her for those little wild beasts of hers~
:P

The box-o-books arrived in the nick of time, as the cardboard was splitting around the edges. But the books are all safe on this lovely, summery day. Many thanks!
This one's about a post-apocalyptic talking chipmunk; how could I resist? (The "Thelonious 'munk" pun didn't escape me {grin}.)
Later: This was an offbeat but charming story, despite the fact that it's set in a post-apocalyptic world in which humans seem to have vanished utterly, leaving behind ruined cities - and a population of talking, sentient animals (in addition to some of the old speechless variety). We meet young Thelonious, a chipmunk who's fascinated by pictures and stories of the human world, even though his family claims not to believe that humans ever existed at all - it's just a story to them. But when their home is flooded, Thelonious finds himself in a real city, where he makes some new friends - a book-loving porcupine, a she-bear who's a talented engineer, and a rather tricky little lizard - and also sees some of the dark side of life in the ruins. From the bear, he learns of the Fog Mound, a retreat for talking animals where they all live in peace - even the carnivores, which suggests a wee stretch of disbelief, but hey, it's a story. But the trek back to the Mound is risky, especially when one of the nastier gangs in the city is on their trail...
