I bought this expecting a proper book, but it is more annual sized and very small.
The book is a retelling of Little Fuzzy from the perspective of the Fuzzies themselves. It is hugely abridged and as a result is very light touch and not as engaging as the original. I am guessing this is because it was intended to target the younger market, other evidence of that is the removal of the darker/sadder scenes.
Why did I give it three? Well....the illustrations are very nice and I might try it out on my son soon.

I get a recommendation on a blog, come over here, and find a widget offering a preview, and another offering a download. If goodreads can find a way to offer me time to read in, I'll be set.

Great fun. Rather draggy in bits with long discourses on the meaning of sapience. I like that it had a diverse cast (at least as far as the names go) although there weren't many women. It was funny to see everyone smoking and carrying guns. That's two of the things Scalzi changed. He also adopted a less paternalistic attitude toward the fuzzys. For all the talk about sapience, Piper shows them as really cute pets. They can do neat stuff, but they're like very amusing children.

a story of a alien race meeting a human man, how he finds their intellegence and acceptance appealing and how he protects them from other men
