Pippin was an abondoned fawn and she was brought to Kate, a great dane. Although Kate never had puppies she knew just how to help raise Pippin. Even after Pippin grew up, she still comes to visit Kate at her farm. Heartstrings tuggged.

This is the true story of Kate, a black lab, and Pippin, a fawn. Pippin is found alone and hungry so Kate's owner takes her in and gives her to Kate. The two bond and have continued their friendship over two years. The photos in the book are lovely.

Excellent book for older preschool and early elementary with color photographs.

The true story of friendship and family between an abandoned fawn, Pippin, and her adoptive mom, Kate the Great Dane.

Kate & Pippin is a loving tale about animals who care for each other. The human element is very subtle in the story. The photographs bright and big. This is a great tale for early elementary students.

Reviewed from a library copy.

Just a cute little story of a deer being adopted by a Great Dane.

These animal friendship stories make my heart melt!

You can't go wrong with a true story about a Great Dane mothering an orphan fawn - especially when the Great Dane is owned by a photographer. You will uh and aw on every page.

Another in the series of picture books about unusual animal pairings - this time a dog and a deer. Sweet story as usual.

When Pippin, a fawn, is abandoned by her mother, photographer Isobel Springett found her crying for help. She took Pippin home and placed her by Kate their old Great Dane. The two immediately bonded: Pippin thought she had found a new mother and Kate started to mother her even though she had never raised any puppies of her own. Pippin learned to drink from a bottle and when she got bigger started to adventure outside. One evening, Pippin disappeared into the forest and didn’t return for bedtime. Kate was very concerned, but the next morning Pippin came back just in time for breakfast. Pippin returned to the woods every night after that, returning to the farm almost every morning to eat and play. As she grew into an adult deer, she still continued to return to visit Kate and play. She even still comes into the house once in awhile for a visit.
