Where the Deer Slip Through
CCBC Review:
From sunrise to darkness, animals pass through a small farm by slipping through the hedge, flying through the branches, and squeezing through the hollow to nibble, frolic, and soar before leaving again into the surrounding pines. Following the “house that Jack built” format, graceful rhymes describe the animals’ fleeting visits amid the human activity glimpsed on the pages as the farm family moves through their day. Stunning scratchboard and watercolor illustrations perfectly complement the flowing language that artfully draws on alliteration and gentle imagery. ©2026 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
