review 1: This book reminded me a lot of Owl Moon. A boy and his father go out on a walk in search of deer. The illustrations fall flat for me. While I think the oil paintings are pretty, I don't feel like they add much to the story. The text looked like it was written as a free verse poem, but did not have the rhythm that one would expect. I can see how someone might like this book, as it is a story of a parent and child bonding over a shared experience, but it just didn't work for me.
review 2: This is a beautifully illustrated picture book for younger children. This story is about how a father promises his son that they will see a deer.Their journey starts early in the morning. They encounter a day filled with adventure. They trek through beach, woodland and cons... moreervation land.Along the way they encounter other animals both with sight and sound observations.The father and son bond all throughout their adventure in their quest to find a deer.Patience finally pays off and the boys wish is fulfilled and he has wonderful memories of his special experience with his dad.There are also references to wildlife and land conservation in the book.A very enjoyable story for young children and animal and nature lovers. less
