Bambi's Children: The Story of a Forest Family by Richard Cowdrey, Felix Salten
5.0
Bambi was my childhood favorie book! I adored it. I loved the movie. I loved the characters. I breathed the setting. I lived the writing. I copied the illustrations.
So I screamed when I found this in the library, sitting there for me to find it. Because I'd read a bit of it once even before I read Bambi. It was in thirft store and I skimmed it and always remembered that Bambi's Children exists, and I've waited forever to be able to read it again.
It made my day. Really reminiscent and similar to the first book. I know some people would complain but I cannot. Since we're dealing with animals,,, the characters and plot are completely different from what I usually read, and could be quite boring for some poeple, but I don't care :'') the setting is the most gorgeously fleshed out thing one could ask for. and the writing is really really good with lots of foresty vocabulary.
idk if I'd recommend it to just anyone, because I don't want you /not/ liking it. But if Disney's Bambi ever hit home for you, read Felix Salten's first book,,, and if you liked that, then read this one.
5 STARS OBVIOUSLY.
