![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of the most lovely picture books about a relationship with a wild animal that I have seen. She even still comes into the house once in awhile for a visit. As she grew into an adult deer, she still continued to return to visit Kate and play. Pippin returned to the woods every night after that, returning to the farm almost every morning to eat and play. Kate was very concerned, but the next morning Pippin came back just in time for breakfast. One evening, Pippin disappeared into the forest and didn’t return for bedtime. Pippin learned to drink from a bottle and when she got bigger started to adventure outside. The two immediately bonded: Pippin thought she had found a new mother and Kate started to mother her even though she had never raised any puppies of her own. She took Pippin home and placed her by Kate their old Great Dane. When Pippin, a fawn, is abandoned by her mother, photographer Isobel Springett found her crying for help.
