I added a definition for "animal". Insects, birds, and fish are acceptable. ☺

4. The Raven in the Foregate
TinTin wrote: "The Light of the Fireflies Melki was right, very creepy! Really good though."Glad you liked it. I can't imagine never leaving my basement.
I hate it down there. It smells funny and there are really BIG spiders.
Finished The Tick: The Naked City. 
A thoroughly unpleasant critter, but I suppose it fits this challenge.

I was almost finished with this one before I realized it would fit this challenge.
Melki wrote: "Finished another - the delightful The Mouse That Roared."Golly, I remember reading that back in high school or earlier!
And Melki, I really really wish you'd not posted that picture. There is really only one kind of critter I hate, and you put up a photo. Ugh!
and how about The Animal Keepers - The Story of an Unlikely Hero and an Unforgettable Season? Granted, the "animal" referred to is a nickname for a kid, but...it definitely has "animal" in the title!
Oops, take back that last one. I finished it in Feb. But I did read How to Speak Dolphin this month, in addition to the other two.
I really enjoyed this challenge. Since I have a huge stack I didn't get to yet, I hope we do it again next year.
