The Deer Watch

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Slonim. Soft oil paintings in impressionistic style suit this peaceful book well. The plot is slim--a boy goes with his father from a seacoast cottage early in the morning in hopes of spotting a deer (they do)--but the text is appropriately quiet, and the mood of natural wonder and being at one with an animal has universal appeal.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
