Expand description
But without success. After Kit's sisters are killed -- one by an owl, another by a car -- Kit finds himself on his own, and life becomes even more of an adventure. He's trapped while investigating a family's garbage cans and later is chased out of a cornfield by hounds. In the end, he survives it all, finds a mate, and becomes a father to his own brood.
This realistic story about an animal familiar to most children will draw in attentive, nature-loving readers.
