On Grandpa's farm he became fast friends with a dog a deer a rabbit and even a blue jay. His feathered and furry companions seemed to understand him just as perfectly as he did them. Their many carefree escapades included hunting woodchucks visiting the barbershop playing in the schoolyard riding in the rumble seat of Grandpa's coupe fishing in the creek eating spaghetti lunches at the county fair and much more.</p>A memoir from the heart this is the spirited tale of a young boy coming of age in a bygone era as he makes lasting memories and enduring friendships exploring field and forest with a bevy of animal buddies.</p>
