Toy Deer of the Florida Keys

"Gramp!" Tim called. "Gramp, come quick! There's a baby deer right in your backyard." Gramp hurried to Tim's room. "Right, Tim. It's a fawn." "Why, it's so tiny! I could hold it in my hands. Could I keep it as a pet?" Tim asked. Gramp smiled. "No, Tim. It's unwise to keep a wild creature as a pet. And it's against the law here on Big Pine Key." "Shouldn't we take him inside to keep him safe?" "No," Gramp answered. "The fawn may only seem to be alone. But its mother is probably close by." Tim wanted to believe Gramp. But Blackie was so tiny. How would Blackie survive so many dangers? Book jacket.Francis, Dorothy is the author of 'Toy Deer of the Florida Keys', published 2000 under ISBN 9780780790186 and ISBN 0780790189.
