————————

The book is divided into two parts: "Animal Handbook" and "Invisible Kitten and Other Stories". In "Animal Handbook", the author fictionalized more than 40 animals such as bench tigers, weather-bathing leopards, and time bears according to the classification method of modern zoology, and even made up Latin names for them. In "Invisible Kitten and Other Stories", the author manipulated words more willfully and told strange stories. The storyteller spoke nonsense seriously, and the listeners accepted them all with satisfaction.

————————

It's like an adult dreaming of sitting in a candy house, peeling off the colorful candy wrappers one by one, tasting the flavor of each candy. Some are sweet, some are bitter, some are sour, and some are melancholy. They are fleeting on the tip of the tongue like an electric current, but they evoke some distant memories that are both strange and familiar. The loneliness, sadness, fragility, and tenderness in our hearts...are all projected onto strange animals. ——Chen Sai, Executive Editor of "New Knowledge for Teenagers"
