| Synopsis: |
This book is suitable for ages 4 to 8 years. Deer and their fawns, or babies, live in forests across North America. Children will be delighted by the wonderful photographs in this simple introduction to these loveable hoofed animals. Easy-to-understand text explains how a fawn is born, how the colour and spots on its coat help camouflage it in the forest, and how some mothers care for their fawns for up-to two years. Beautiful images feature white-tailed deer and mule deer and introduce a few lesser-known deer, such as pudus, which are the smallest deer in the world! |
