The Newbery-Award winning book, The Animal Family, is a great family to read before bed. It is about a lonely hunter who meets a mermaid one day while walking along the shore near his house in the woods. The hunter and the mermaid become fast friends and the mermaid moves in with the hunter. They become very lonely and want a child. the closest thing they can find to a human child is a bear cub. After the bear grows up, he finds a cave to hibernate in. The hunter and the mermaid get lonely again, so the hunter finds a lynx kitten. A few years later, the lynx and the bear are playing by the beach and find a shipwreck. What they find inside will change the animal family's life forever. I will not tell you what they found inside though. The animal family lives together in the woods happily ever after.
