A favorite story from Lillian and Russell Hoban, creators of the classic Frances books, The Little Brute Family is repackaged in a brand-new format for beginning readers.

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.
