BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
When a young boy brings an orphaned fawn home to care for, his mother warns him that it's only temporary - until the fawn is strong, home isn't a place for wild things. The boy and the fawn become great friends, and soon the fawn is strong enough to survive on its own. The boy is very sad. When a great storm comes, the boy tries to find the fawn, and gets himself lost in the forest.
Beautiful illustrations - oh the landscapes and the wild places, I want to visit them! Such a sweet story about love and friendship and letting go; it's hopeful and heartwarming. The boy and his mother are Scottish, the fawn is a deer.
