Yes, I read these when they just released. Don't remember too much from them, but I thought they were pretty cool at the time. I think the story and characters themselves weren't that interesting, but the descriptions of the environments were really good. Like you'd really get a sense of being there, even though it was a fantasy world of small animals. But I might be misremembering as it was what 35 years ago?

I remember I had the hard cover and the art on the book was really cool, that drew me in right away. I might still have those books somewhere in a box in the attic.
