The Little Brute Family (Sunburst Books)

by Russell Hoban

The Little Brute Family (Sunburst Books) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

They eat sand and gravel for breakfast and a stew of sticks and stones for dinner. No one says "please" or "thank you." Instead, they kick and yell and punch and shove. Then one day everything changes, when Baby Brute happens upon "a little wandering lost good feeling in a field of daisies." When he brings it home in his pocket, nothing is ever the same for the Little Brute Family.

Review:

"A hilarious little study in human relations." (Kansas City Star)

Synopsis:

The Little Brute Family members eat gravel for breakfast, never say "please" or "thank you" and kick, yell, punch, and shove. But one day everything changes when Baby Brute finds a "lost good feeling" wandering around in a field of daisies and brings it home. Full-color illustrations.
