The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis
3.0

[b:The Bog Baby|4926603|The Bog Baby|Jeanne Willis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347314080l/4926603._SX50_.jpg|4992207] by [a:Jeanne Willis|26852|Jeanne Willis|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1306174493p2/26852.jpg] is a good reminder that nature should be left to be natural, as well as a permeating idea that all creatures have some magic in them.

I like that this shows both what happens when you keep wild animals as "pets" and what happens when you let them go. This story has a good moral and teaches a fairly explicit lesson of how animals have a place in nature above all else. It's a really sweet and timeless story.
