The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis

4.0

I found this book on a rainy day in Nantucket at a wonderful independent bookstore. I sat down to read it and FELL in LOVE. The illustrations are amazing and the story gave me goose bumps! I can hardly wait to read it to my students. The story follows two sisters who go fishing in a magical pond that only appears in the spring! They find a bog baby and take it home...read it to teach children the concept of wild things needing to live in the wild...or "take only pictures and leave only footprints"...or just read it because it is so sweet!!!
