A realistically illustrated story about a little boy and a wild animal. Little Baptiste, a Canadian child. lives so far out in the wilderness that he has no friends. He is very lonely, and adopts a stray moose calf. They have fun together for a while, but naturally it can't last forever. As the moose grows larger it becomes unmanageable, and eventually turns to the wild and others of its kind. But Little Baptiste's father has a surprise for his son, and human friends turn out to be in his future after all. Lynd Ward's illustrations are, as usual, just wonderful. A "truer" ending to this one than to Ward’s own [The Biggest Bear]. ( )
