Still good on a decades later re-read. Classic SF.
Jack Holloway, the main protagonist, is an engaging character. IMHO he embodies many of the traditional male virtues. He is stalwart and unflagging in his support of those he cares for. In this story he comes to care for Little Fuzzy and his family – and by extension all of the Fuzzy species.
(I reckon Piper's Fuzzies – terminally cute, smart little guys – were a seed for George Lucas's Ewoks.)
Little Fuzzy is a book of its time with lots of smoking and bits that might be taken as a somewhat sexist now. But still a fun read.
4.5 stars rounded up.
