The chartered Zarathustra Company had it all their way. Their charter was for a Class III uninhabited planet, which Zarathustra was, and it meant they owned the planet lock stock and barrel. They exploited it, developed it and reaped the huge profits from it without interference from the Colonial Government. Then Jack Holloway, a sunstone prospector, appeared on the scene with his family of Fuzzies and the passionate conviction that they were not cute animals but little people.

This is the book that let me know a story could be both cute AND smart! I love it. It's one of the few books I'll read again and again with the same level of enjoyment as the first time.

In LITTLE FUZZY by HENRY BEAM PIPER, a frontiersman mining "sunstones" encounters a hairy little creature that piques his curiosity. After adopting one "little fuzzy," Pappy Jack Holloway quickly finds himself attached to a whole family of them. Pretty soon he is convinced that they are not just animals, but also intelligent beings. This creates a problem for the company that is systematically mining the planet and harvesting its resources. If an intelligent species is discovered, then the company's charter is automatically nullified and all those juicy profits disappear. So the company immediately takes measures to disprove the intelligence of the fuzzies and discredit their discoverer.
I read this book on my AMAZON KINDLE II after downloading it from FEEDBOOKS.COM. It was a fun, light read from start to finish. There's no real depth to the story and not much in the way of serious science fiction, but it is an enjoyable story nonetheless. I believe there are more fuzzy books and I will consider picking them up. I am also considering reading this one to my boys, as I think it might play well to a young audience.
