Whether it's nature writing, anthropomorphized animals in folklore, children's literature, or something else, this challenge encourages participants to read 20 books about 30 different animals.

Think Watership Down by Richard Adams or Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung for a rabbit. And for a book about a cat, it could be anything from Warriors by Erin Hunter to Kafka by the Shore by Haruki Murakami. HIstorical fiction books like Horse by Geraldine Brooks to comedic parodies like Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore, the number of books about animals, featuring animals, is endless.
