Amazon.com description: Product Description: From a review by Booklist: "London recounts the adventures of a litter of black-footed ferrets (in particular, the livelist, Phantom) through the seasons of a year as they grow and mature. Born in an abandoned prairie-dog home on the high prairie, they explore, learn to hunt, and are stalked by a coyote. Finally, Phantom sets off alone to find her own dog town where she mates and bears a litter in the spring. Although the story is fictionalized, London's vivid text and Bash's vibrant artwork convey much information about the life cycle and habits of this rarest of North American mammals."
