Deer in the city! Mama gasps when Sonia points out five animals grazing on the new lettuce in her garden. What's to become of the creatures? A small crowd of neighbors--including two who aren't talking to each other--keep watch, determined to save the deer. Harriet Peck Taylor's heartwarming story is based on a real incident (Chicago, 1996), in which people provided a safe haven for stray deer and bonded in the process. Full color.
