5.0 out of 5 stars "Senseless Acts of Violence"? Please!, August 11, 2002

This review is from: Bambi Soundtrack (Disney Classics) (Audio Cassette)

In response to the person who wrote the review titled, "Senseless Acts of Violence Against Deer Provoke Anger", you are crazy. Yes, there is some violence that the youngest of children should not see. However, even my 3 year old was able to grasp that bad things happen, and that we must learn to move on. The story of Bambi is a true to life story, and is not some exploiting of 'poor, innocent' animals at all. There are also lessons to be learned about 'Hunter-oriented values' - which are not necissarily evil. Some people hunt to eat, and to live. When hunting is done in the right spirit, and not simply for sport, it can be a very good thing. I was able to teach my daughter all of this, and she is better for it, because of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice book to read to your children., January 31, 2006

This review is from: Bambi And The Great Prince Of The Forest (Pictureback Series) (Paperback)

When it's time to put the kids to bed I highly recommend you read this book "Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest," a midquel to the beloved story "Bambi." The book is pretty short only being 23 pages long with large print. Because the print is large and pretty easy to read this would be an ideal book for young children to start reading. The book also has very beautiful illustrations to incorporate with the imagination.

The book takes place after Bambi's mother dies and the Great Prince is force to take care of him until winter is over; teaching him the ways of the forest. At first the Great Prince is reluctant but he opens up to him at the end. It has some laughs, action and very touching moments. You also see Bambi's old friends like Thumper, Flower, Friend Owl and his sweet heart Faline. You also see Bambi's rival Ronno who teases and picks on Bambi. After all Bambi has learned from his father he took all that and put it into use by saving his surrogate mother Mena from man.

So if you need a good book to read for your kids then this book would be perfect for you!
