When Olee Swenson and his fellow lumberjacks discover that animal-catchers have arrived in the woods, determined to catch the Hodag and put him in a zoo, they set out to help their gentle friend evade his hunters. Although not quite as engaging as the first - after all, the reader already knows the Hodag is a friend in this one - The Terrible Hodag and The Animal Catchers is still an engaging tale. John Sandford's black and white prints are immensely appealing, capturing the emotions of the characters in the fine details. All in all, a worthy addition to the small body of work devoted to this mythological creature. Now if only I could find a larger collection of Hodag tales! ( )
