Not sure if the illustrations, by a "22 year-old full-blooded Sioux Indian" were originally in color; they're not here. But they're still wonderful. This is a short 'novel in verse' for older children. Pretty intense, much like the original [b:Bambi|739840|Bambi|Felix Salten|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344401718s/739840.jpg|881085]. In this case, it's not the mother who is killed, but a cow-pony who briefly joins the herd to play with them, and rouses the cows' powerful protective anger.

Definitely recommended to those who like older animal stories and histories of the American West, but I have to admit I don't know that it has show more universal appeal. show less
