This is really cute book, and I just happen to stumble upon it. I have always loved anything involving deer, so that is why I bought this book. It is about a little doe who is very timid and scared of everything. At the end of the story, she ends up saving the day from the Giant Shadow Bird!
The illustrations are done in watercolor and are just lovely. I did a mini-lesson with this book last week with my RITE child and she love the pictures! They are very soft and delicate. The night scenes are especially beautiful.
If you were using this book in the classroom, you could use a character development strategy. You could also talk about windmills and the alternative energy sources we are in the process of developing now with the win turbines for a science lesson. You could also talk about deforestation to build on that topic.
