What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Hello!

I'm searching for a book series I read about five years ago, I think. I found it in a library in Germany but if I recall correctly it has been translated and was originally published in another language.
As mentioned in the title each book was written from the perspective from a different wild animal. I don't remember which exactly were used, but I distinctly recall at least one hooved species. Horses, and moose maybe? I know there were at least four or five books in the series.
The novels dealt with them starting at a very young age and the reader accompanied them as they got older and often travelled somewhere with the pack/flock/group of other animals. It is possible the books where written from the I-perspective.
The covers were drawn. Also, I think they showed the animal the book was about.

That's about as much as I can remember. Any help would be very appreciated!

Flatterina, about how long is each book?

Are there many illustrations? Can you describe the illustrations - realistic/cartoony/cute, simple/detailed, painted watercolors/bold graphics, sunny/dark/muted colors/black & white?

Hello Kris!
Uhm, I'd say around 250-350 pages per book? It was a series for children so definitely not too long.
The only illustrations I remember were the drawn/painted covers. They were definitely colourful and more on the realistic side. I think they were fairly detailed, but nothing too fancy.

I am kind of taking shots in the dark here and most of the wildlife books I know are 50+ years old, but is it possible they are any of Jean Craighead George's work, like Vulpes the Red Fox? B.F. Beebe also wrote several wild animal books, but only a few of them are on Goodreads so I am not sure if she was well known enough to be translated.

Rutherford G. Montgomery has written about wildlife too, and it looks like they include a few horse books and one about an elk.

Or do you think they were written in/closer the 21st century?

Probably too old, but this series by Thornton Burgess?

A series by Rene Guillot? I remember one called Kpo the Leopard.

Franzii, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

The Animals of Farthing Wood

If you're still looking, it might be worth browsing the Animal Xenofiction for Children list.

No response, moving to Abandoned folder.
