The Best of Xenofiction
Xenofiction is a story told from the perspective of a nonhuman, such as an animal, an alien, or a monster. This is NOT a list for creatures that think and act exactly like humans, but instead for stories where the creatures' instincts and biology play a role in worldbuilding and narrative. Mostly adult with a few YA books!

Animal protagonists , Creature Fantasy, and Xenofiction,
Series and books that feature animal MCs, of varying target audience age. There is a lean toward fantasy, as that is what I read, but I tried to include a number of other fiction titles with animal characters as well.
beastly bildungsromans
stories tracing a single life from youth to adulthood, but the protagonist is an animal; novelizations of the "beast fable." and YES, there are middle grade books on here, because people love writing books about animals for kids but think adults are too good for it.
