Illustrated by
Gwen Millward.
Two girls capture a Bog Baby--a fanciful, funny-looking blue creature--and keep him secretly as a pet. But when the winged, frog-sized little guy falls ill, the girls realize that if they love the Bog Baby, they must return him to his pond. Delicate, imaginative illustrations in blues, greens, and pinks help deliver the story's message with a light touch.
