Animal Fiction

Animal fiction focus on stories that involve animals. If the story is told from the animal’s point of view, then it uses xenofication. Many animal stories include humans to some extent. When they do, there is often a focus on the human-animal relationship. This might be a man’s best friend type story, but it may also be a story with humans in the role of oppressor. Most of our animal fiction can be found in junior and middle grade collections, but there are some in the young adult collection.

动物小说以那些和动物相关的故事为主。如果故事是从动物角度叙述的,那么此书就采用了拟人的手法。从某种程度上来说,许多动物小说中都会有人类出现。若是这样,故事通常会关注人与动物的关系。这样的书可能与人类最好的朋友同属一个类型,但也有可能是人类在其中扮演压迫者的角色。我们的大部分动物小说都可以在初级和中级系列中找到,但也有一些书放在青少年系列里。
