An IRA-CBC Children\'s Choice Book.
A treat for \'pioneer story\' buffs.-- School Library Journal.
Sarah tells her rescuers of the big black dog That kept her warm every night--but the Bear tracks encircling her tell a different tale.
Then a stranger leads the desperate family to a pine tree beneath which the child lies.
For three long days, friends and neighbors search fruitlessly for her.
In June 1783, three-year-old Sarah Whitcher wanders into the woods and disappears.
The drama of this unbelievable but true story is enhanced by Ted Rand\'s stunning illustrations.
