No, people, you don't understand

The Animal Family is the most damn wholesome book I have ever read in my life.

Like seriously.

There are some many dawwwww moments in it I can't even.

Case in point: big awkward hunter falls in love with a mermaid. And she moves into his house. Except she hates that the house doesn't move. She can't sleep still. So he makes her a rocking chair.

And they adopt a bear. And a lynx. AND a baby.

And it is so beautifully written.

Like... eat your heart out, Little Mermaid.

THIS is the literary fairy tale that needs to be THE mermaid love story from now on.

Make it so.

Is this book in English?
Yep! The Animal Family by Randall Jarrell
oooh thank you for posting this! I read this book AGES ago and it has stayed in my heart ever since, but I couldn't for the life of me remember the title or author. It's so weirdly beautiful and good ... I can't wait to re-read it.
