This tells the story of Geno and Gurri, Bambi and Faline's son and daughter, their Aunt Rolla and her fawns, Lana and Boso, and two orphans, Nello and Membo. Bambi's Children is a bit more story-heavy than the original Bambi, which focused more on nature. Unlike it's predecessor, Bambi's Children ends when Geno begins to grow his antlers.
The book tells the story of Bambi's children as well as Bambi as a powerful father who will do anything for his son and daughter. Whereas Bambi, A Life in the Woods was more a book that discussed themes of a higher power, Bambi's Children is more of an entertaining story. It's fun to see Bambi as the great prince of the forest as well as a loving father who is more involved in the lives of his family than his own father was, Faline as a mature mother who still has her spunk, their son who is just like his father in every way, and their daughter who is a mixture of her spontaneous mother and wise father. The book is appropriate for all ages but may be disturbing to very young children as it has some darker moments occuring due to hunting/killing by humans.

Reader review: "I love the story how is told from the point of view of the deer and not an anonymous narrator."
