All the animals of the Hill are very excited about the new Folks moving in, and they wonder how things are going to change. It's only a matter of time before the animals of the Hill find out just who is moving in, and they may be a little bit surprised when they do. <p/>Robert Lawson has created. . . a whole, fresh, lively, amusing world. --<i>The New York Times <p/></i>A skillful blending of humor and whimsy, Robert Lawson has given a distinct personality to each animal, not only by his equisitely fine drawings but by word pictures as well. --<i>Library Journal</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robert Lawson (1892-1957) received his art training at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts.
