Where the Deer Slips Through immediately immerses the reader with it's beautiful and captivating illustrations.  Beginning with a small hedge surrounding the forest, Howes cumulatively and creatively showcases the day to day activities of all the wildlife that live there. 

The text is sprinkled with verbs and descriptive text that when combined with the illustrations make this a perfect package.  Definitely Caldecott worthy. The illustrations were absolutely breathtaking.  I can't wait to share this with young readers. There is so much detail on each page that they will want to take the time to explore at their own pace.
