Our view
“Little Fuzzy” is a short, good-humoured classic built on one question: is the newly found species on a distant planet intelligent? Some readers enjoy the debate over what intelligence means and the steadfast hero, while noting human characters who blur together and attitudes, from constant smoking to hints of sexism, that have dated. It was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1963 and is now in the public domain.
