Reflecting the social values of the author's childhood in Saskatoon in the 1930s, the wild egg stealing, crow massacring, and free-ranging children may disturb many contemporary readers. The only improvement to this reissue would be the addition of simple sketches of owls, gophers, and "Mowat's Prairie Schooner" to compliment the text (similar to the books by E.T. Seton).
