Annie and the Wild Animals

Where is Taffy? Annie looks and looks, but she can't find her marmalade cat anywhere.
When Taffy doesn't come home, Annie is lonely, so she puts a corn cake at the edge of the woods. Maybe a small furry creature will come for a nibble and become her pet.
Instead, a giant moose finds the corn cake. But he's much too big for a pet. So are the other animals - a grumpy bear, a snarling wildcat, and others - who show up to eat Annie's cakes until there are none left. The wild animals roar for more. What will Annie do now?
Exquisite snowy landscapes filled with raucous wild animals are framed in lively borders that hint at what Taffy is up to all the way through to the end, when she brings home the best surprise Annie could have hoped for.
A favorite book that young readers will want to listen to and look at over and over again.
