Looking for recommendations for series from animals point of view (discuss.online)

Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell's Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat's journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

Only adult one I can think of is Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams (cats). There's a ton of these for kids, though; here's a few I've read:

  • Redwall series by Brian Jacques (forest critters; I found it repetitive after the first few, but ymmv)
  • Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien (rats)
  • Stewart Little by E.B. White (mouse)
  • Charlotte's Web by by E.B. White (pig)

Edit: Sorry, I derped on the scifi/fantasy/action aspect of the request; the E.B. White books don't fall into that category.

Thank you so much for mentioning Tailchaser's Song! It is one of my favorite fantasy books.

I like Tad Williams work, will check out Tailchaser's Song. It looks pretty interesting.

And no worries, could still be fun to check out.
