Narrative During Books Bambi (Bambi #1)
The Prince of the ForestBambi's life in the woods begins happily. There are forest animals to play with -- Friend Hare, the chattery squirrel, the noisy screech owl, and Bambi's twin cousins, frail Gobo and beautiful Faline.
But winter comes, and Bambi learns that the woods hold danger -- and things he doesn't understand. The first snowfall makes food hard to find. Bambi's father, a handsome stag, roams the forest, but leaves Bambi and his mother alone.
Then there is Man. He comes to the forest with weapons that can wound an animal. He does terrible things to Gobo, to Bambi's mother, and even to Bambi. But He can't keep Bambi from growing into a handsome stag himself, and becoming...the Prince of the Forest.

Bambi is one of Disney's darkest films, but it's lighthearted whimsy compared to the original novel which would require trigger warnings nowadays. Thumper is brutally slaughtered as gunshots reverberate throughout the meadow and pools of blood stain the daisies. Death is everywhere--even in the trees. One of the saddest moments occurs when two lone oak leaves ponder the afterlife before tumbling to their demise from bare branches.It's gritty and heartbreaking, yet also heartlifting. ExceedinglyThis book is meant to introduce children to the concepts of danger and death, I think. It is laudable that Salten is able to imbue almost every scene here with either foreboding or dread or some grisly death, and yet keep the storytelling mostly light and playful. He also leaves the message that the wisest among us are those who can manage danger and death without sacrificing their dignity. At times, especially when the animals were reflecting on the dangers of human beings, the book reminded me
I never thought that a book about a deer in the woods could be such a page-turner.One of my friends described the book as beautiful. Another told me it was "quite good." And I first came across it referenced in a YA book when I was in middle school, in which the narrator claimed it was much better than the Disney version. I agree with all of the above.I first quickly flipped through to make sure that the animals actually talked, since I have a hard time making it through books without any
You would think because this is a movie more people would have read it, but try finding someone who even knows about the existence of this book. Like most Disney movies, this is not really the same story. Disney kept the environmental themes, but took out the philosophy and changed most of the names. For a children's book, this book is deep. There are a lot of philosophical type of moments that make you think about life, death, and nature around you. At times it's makes you smile and other times
What a tearful book, but I don't recall why. Maybe Bambi died or maybe it was her mother that had died.We have two deer that come to our house, who actually live next door in the forest, and each year they have fawns. It used to be that we only saw them during deer season, but now we see them year around. They come into our yard and drink out of the bird baths, and I have extra water for them. This year, after being here for 12 years and having vegetable gardens, they ate all of our tomatoes. I
Hmmm. I bought this book to read to my children because I thought it would be a richer, better story than the Disney movie I grew up with. (my kids have never seen it)The writing is lovely, if heavy on adverbs, and there are some gorgeous descriptions of life in the forest and some profound observations on the harsh realities of the natural world. But this is not a children's book. My three-year-old asked repeatedly that I NOT read it. My six-year-old was left with a blank, dissatisfied stare
One of my most beloved childhood stories, Bambi relates the story of a young fawn shortly after he is born, all the way through to his adulthood. If you eat venison after reading this book, then you have no heart! This book brings the forest alive. All of Bambi's beloved childhood friends are in it, and the Old Stag, his father, plays an important role. I adore this book, and will cherish it always.
