Critters Unusual: 2 books

Amid the clutter and clatter of the world, there exist as blades of grass pushing up between sidewalk cracks an amazing assortment of disparate beings, each of them worthy of regard. With an absurd and surgically precise caricaturist eye, Phinnaby Finch brings a shining few of these to light, in a dazzling parade of life's rich pageant.

Tilda and her family had just moved in, but at that first creak in the walls she knew something was up. Being a curious and adventurous little girl, of course she needed to investigate. What she finds is puzzling, shocking, and horrifying.
