LitPick Review
Dearie, the Deer is about a deer named Dearie that was born very weak. He soon recovered his health and was able to stand, but Dearie had another problem. He was very timid! He wouldn’t move when there was danger around him. One day the herd decided to make him leave so that he would learn to survive on his own. Without the herd, will Dearie learn to run away when there is danger, and defend himself when needed?
Opinion:
Dearie, the Deer is a great juvenile fiction full of adventures! I like how the author describes what is going on so vividly that you are able to “see” it in your mind! I also like how this book teaches a lesson that sometimes you need to be by yourself to learn something important in life. The last thing I like is how the author expresses Dearie’s feelings in detail so I can almost feel what he felt. I would recommend Dearie, the Deer to kids ages 8 and up.
