Bambi [Hardcover]

Jane Schulman (Author)

Book Description

This is a story that transports us to a sun-dappled glade in the middle of a forest. Here we witness the birth of a little fawn, Bambi, and watch him take his first unsteady steps by his mother's side. We share in his delight and curiosity as he encounters the sights, smells and sounds of this woodland home and then in his sadness when his mother is killed by a hunter's bullet. We see him forge new friendships and face the dangers of the forest as he matures into a majestic stag. This beautifully-illustrated retelling of Felix Salten's original 1923 novel includes many elements that are omitted from the Disney film and is sure to captivate readers of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Adaptation of the Bambi Story, November 8, 2011

This review is from: Bambi (Paperback)

Thanks to Walt Disney, everybody little girl has a place in her heart for Bambi. I've heard it said that Bambi was Mr. Disney's all time favorite movie and I've seen more than one grown man shed a tear or two during the film. My daughters loved the movie too. It's a classic that will live forever. So when I saw this book, I almost passed on it, because the Disney drawings are so firmly etched on my family's minds. However, I bought it and brought it home, much to my girl's delight.

Ms. Schulman's adaptation of Felix Slaten's classic novel is absolutely superb and the illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher really bring the story to life. My darlings were delighted. If you have children, then this wonderful book is one I know you'll enjoy reading to them.
