Bambi's Children: The Story of a Forest Family (Bambi's Classic Animal Tales)

Meet the new fawns in the forest: the descendants of Bambi discover the woods in this refreshed edition of the sequel to Bambi , complete with new illustrations. Twin fawns Geno and Gurri are the children of Faline and Bambi. The pair must grow up and navigate the world of the woods with the help of their mother and Bambi, the new Prince of the Forest. But for young fawns, the wild can be dangerous. Gurri is injured by a fox and has a run-in with the most dangerous of creatures: man. Geno is challenged by rival deer and worries about the impending fight. But when the family begins to fall apart, it is the familiar presence of Bambi who tries to set it right again. This beautiful repackage of the sequel to the beloved classic Bambi, tells the story of a forest family and the struggles of growing up. Complete with brand new illustrations from artist Richard Cowdrey. This tells the story of Geno and Gurri, Bambi and Faline's son and daughter, their Aunt Rolla and her fawns, Lana and Boso, and two orphans, Nello and Membo. Bambi's Children is a bit more story-heavy than the original Bambi, which focused more on nature. Unlike it's predecessor, Bambi's Children ends when Geno begins to grow his antlers. The book tells the story of Bambi's children as well as Bambi as a powerful father who will do anything for his son and daughter. Whereas Bambi, A Life in the Woods was more a book that discussed themes of a higher power, Bambi's Children is more of an entertaining story. It's fun to see Bambi as the great prince of the forest as well as a loving father who is more involved in the lives of his family than his own father was, Faline as a mature mother who still has her spunk, their son who is just like his father in every way, and their daughter who is a mixture of her spontaneous mother and wise father. The book is appropriate for all ages but may be disturbing to very young children as it has some darker moments occuring due to hunting/killing by humans.
