Shadow the Deer
Illustrated by John Butler
(Puffin Books)
978-0140543803, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
A book full of the most beautiful, tranquil illustrations. Shadow and her fawn live in the forest. We experience with them the dangers of fox attack, and see how gentle and vulnerable they are and how they have amazing reserves of strength. The protective love and concern shown here stirs our compassion. A wonderful way of introducing conservation and environmental appreciation to the very young.
