This is a truly delightful tale of a childless old couple who find twelve inch long babies in the grass after a spring rain. When they adopt them they find that they are constantly fighting to protect and rescue them. There is a very nice ending to the story and you will enjpy the book as much as the children. Illustrated with some very lovely pictures.
