| From Booklist Gr. 1^-2. In this quiet book from the Hello Reader! series, a fawn tells about its first year of life. Born in the spring, it stays close to its mother, who teaches it what to eat and how to stay warm during the cold winter months. Together they observe the children who live nearby as they play in the spring, don coats in the fall, and decorate a Christmas tree. Mirroring the children's experiences, the fawn learns to play, grows a thicker coat in the fall, and looks forward to his own celebration: spring, "when new food grows." Simple, straightforward writing and soft-edged watercolor paintings make this an appealing choice for young readers, particularly those intrigued by the fawn's perspective. An excellent companion book for Godwin's Forest, reviewed on p.1524. Carolyn Phelan Card catalog description A deer describes its first year of life, with the difficulties of eating in winter and the joy of plenty when spring comes. |
