Please list only adult and YA novels in which a nonhuman animal or aggregation of animals is a narrator and/or main character.

When reading (and voting) consider:

1. Does the animal protagonist or narrator think, feel, and behave as an animal of that species really might (if they could) in such circumstances?

2. Is there a sincere effort to imagine and convey the ways that this animal might experience the world and the happenings within the novel?

3. Conversely, is the animal merely used as a symbolic stand-in for human problems and preoccupations?

4. Is the reader provoked to feel empathy for this particular animal? For other animals?

5. Does the novel spark the reader to see the world differently by imagining it from another animal's point of view?

6. Does the novel spark the reader to see humans differently by imagining how we might be perceived by nonhuman others?
