When a family goes blueberry picking, "somewhere between the top of Ptarmigan Mountain and the bottom," Baby loses his shoe. A vole, a fox, and a bear all in turn find and lose the red Ked. During the following summer's blueberry picking, guess what Baby (now toddler) finds again? Appealing linocuts on delicate leaf impression backgrounds convey the animals and landscape of the northwest woods.
