Bookroo's summary

Journey from city bustle to country calm with a man and his dog, Wednesday. Discover a world teeming with cranes, frogs, and coyotes, where each season brings change. As winter blankets the land in silence, what stories do the snow-covered fields hold? Dive into a meditation on life's fleeting moments and the creatures that color our days.

From the publisher

The author used to live in the busy city where there were buses and trains, and people waiting for buses and trains. Now he lives in the country and jubilantly takes us on a tour of his home, pointing out all the animals that share his space. There are stuffed bears and quilted chickens. His dog Wednesday watches cranes, frogs, and dragonflies live their lives. Coyotes and chipmunks come and go, and the world around where he lives is full of life, until winter comes, and there is nothing but snow. Uniquely structured, All the Animals Where I Live is a picture book from Philip C. Stead, one of our most innovative author-illustrators, that is a meditation on life and moments big and small that shape our individual worlds.
