Tarsi, The Sandhill Crane

An engaging and heart-warming true story about three little girls growing up in Idaho and raising a pet Sandhill Crane. Lost in the Grays Lake Marsh when he was just a baby chick, Tarsi the Sandhill Crane, was rescued by their biologist father. He came home to live with the family until he was strong enough to be re-introduced into the wild. This book describes all the fun and crazy episodes with Tarsi, including playing tag and going fishing with the girls; locking grandma in the outhouse; and even rescuing 5 year old Michelle when she fell into a pond. Not only will you learn about wild cranes and the outdoors in this book, you will also fall in love with Tarsi, the Sandhill Crane, just like the three little girls.
