Book Overview

My book traces the life of a newborn fawn born on a deer farm from the fawn's perspective. It starts out from his birth with his twin sister and tells how he is changed from a wild deer to a tame deer.

Care and Nurturing

Farmer Joe bottle feeds and loves the fawn very much and takes over being a mother figure for the fawn. Next, the fawn is introduced to real deer feed (corn, oats, molasses, and vitamins). He still is bottle-fed for at least four months and has a lot of special attention and love.

Growth and Development

As the fawn grows and loses his beautiful spots, he develops his first set of antlers. The book describes how every year he will lose his antlers and grow new ones even bigger.

Educational Content

A lot of DEER terms are used in the book to educate the young reader to the life of a deer and how he develops, such as buck, doe, antler, button buck, deer velvet, points, tines, etc.

Photographs

The photographs in the book are the actual pictures taken on our deer farm.
