As Three Willows spoke, she rose. She brought a bundle to the tiny fire. She untied the straps that held it. Then she unrolled the buffalo robe. It was large, soft and carefully tanned. Red Fox peered through the dim light of the tipi. He could see colorful drawings painted on the smooth side of the robe. Red Fox reached out to touch one scene. It was a man on horseback. He was racing across the prairie. Red Fox could almost feel the movement of the horse under the rider as they raced. That's your father, whispered Three Willows.

With especially whimsical illustrations, Fruits and Flowers and Footprints OH MY!!! by Linda L. Bauer is a magical and timeless children’s fable. A pleasant walk through simpler times, the author weaves a captivating and entertaining tale for families to enjoy for years and years. While preparing for a lawn party at Bittersweet Run, Peabo the Pug finds large footprints in the garden, which leads to an exciting and, at times, intrepid adventure. One by one, the pups of the plantation—and one courageous cat—try to figure out who, or what, made the rather large indentations in the soil, and when Joey goes missing it will be up to Rumford, the biggest and possibly bravest dog of all, to follow the clues. Could it be that Bigfoot is running free at Bittersweet Run? Does he have Joey? It will take all the farm critters to solve this mystery.
