Seasons, forest creatures, animal homes and migration are all touched upon within the story, inspiring curious young minds to find out more about Bird's interrupted journeys through the environment Deer calls home. [...] this is perfect four young readers setting off on their own independent reading journey.

- Nicola Cleveland, school librarian, ReadingZone

This charming tale of friendship and commitment to helping others is told largely through dialogue with descriptive rhyming couplet to introduce each season and rhythmic songs. [...] The experience is much enhanced by the beautiful painted illustrations with have the charm of Disney's Bambi.

- Sue Barrel, The English Association

Sebastian Van Doninck's coloured illustrations have a vintage Disney feel, and they are gloriously reproduced on the luxurious glossy pages of the hardback edition, which offers a lovely lesson in the comforts of companionship.
