This is a sweet, smart, funny book that is unfortunately out of print. Get it if you can!
I agree that this story should be better known
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I agree with the person up above who said she is amazed that this story isn't better known. I picked it up at a book sale when my kids were already pretty big, so it's not one we read over and over, but it's one that always touches me very deeply. It's a beautiful story.
You've Gotta Read It!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
It amazes me how little known this masterpeice of storytelling is. I first read (and reread, and reread again) the book when I was in the second or third grade, and it always left me filled with a sense of wonder. The art is beautiful, and the story is told in simple, quiet, straightforward language that makes it almost, very nearly, possible to believe it's really true, despite the fantastical happenings.

Loosly based on the story of the Wild Child of Averon, Arnold is raised by wild ducks.His adoptive human parents teach him how to be a human child, how to go to school.A poignant story, with beutiful, energetic illustrations.
