Synopsis: One spring, as part of their animal rescue work on Hazel Ridge Farm, Gijsbert (Nick) and Robbyn van Frankenhuyzen find themselves caring for a lamb (rejected by its mother) and an orphaned fawn at the same time. They name the lamb Teeny Weeny and the fawn Itsy Bitsy. It's touch-and-go for the first two weeks as the infants' health is precarious and they require almost round-the-clock attention from Robbyn. But as their good health increases, so do their energy levels! Raised as siblings, the two youngsters are inseparable, sharing a playpen in the house, romping together, and just getting into general mischief Eventually, summer comes and goes and moves into fall. And as the seasons change, Itsy Bitsy and Teeny Weeny grow into their true selves, away from "Mother" Robbyn and each other. Nature must take its course and the two animals go their separate ways: One back to a life in the wild and the other on to domestic farm life. Warmly illustrated by wildlife artist Gijsbert van Frankhuyzen, this bittersweet story is another gentle lesson in how nature works . . . on Hazel Ridge Farm. Itsy Bitsy & Teeny Weeny is the fourth entry in the Hazel Ridge Farm wildlife series.
