Oh Dear, Said the Deer
Estaba todo frío en el bosque; la Navidad había llegado La nieve cayó de noche; estaba todo obscuro y nublado. Un fuerte viento se oía; hacía que los árboles se doblaran, Los animales tenían frío y en su pelaje se refugiaban. Con bufandas y calcetines se intentaban abrigar Y con chaquetas y sombreros se pudieron calentar.

When I read this to two of my great-grandchildren they loved the pictures and demanded crayons to make their own "Oh Dear, Said the Deer" pictures. They were able to express how good it is to help friends and have a good time together outside. The rhythm and rhyme are also very good to expose preschool children to how language can flow. Both of these children were preschool age and of two of our grandchildren and are cousins and play together often and both are very verbal. Great title, great illustrations and the kids loved it.

The ebook that I picked up was illustrated by Harry Aveira and the graphics were very clear and colorful; much better than the illustrations showing on goodreads. The rhyming story was cute, but I did have a hard time reconciling a monkey, elephant, rhino, and silk worm in a cold winter spruce forest. Still, young children will delight in the search for a hat for the deer and the friendships the deer makes along the journey.

Revised by a 9 year old girl.
I liked it because it had animals who were good friends. Boys would like it a lot because it has boys who help each other.

This short rhyming book is a good choice for a read aloud or bedtime story. Though the recommended ages are three to nine, I would suggest it for children age three to six. Story line involves a very sweet deer who gets very wet when it rains because he does not have a hat. He asks all his friends in the forest to share a hat, but none of them work because the deer has two antlers on top of his head. In the end the deer's friends come through with a very ingenious solution.
This book displays the animals as polite, compassionate, cooperative, generous and caring providing excellent role models for the young child. The illustrations are done in pencil lines with pastel colors. Even though they are well drawn,sometimes the details are a bit difficult to see clearly.

“It was raining in the forest; winter had quickly come. / Snow fell all night long; it was dark and very glum.” But this book is bright and beautiful, with smooth rhymes, begging to be read aloud, nice rhythm, and a pleasing story about a cold deer searching for a hat that might cover his antlers.
The pictures are a delight in this book too, with the hand-made look of crayons, fun expressions, warm lines, and none that shiny coldness of computer images. Meet an elephant, a rhino and more as this dear deer asks all his friends for help. Finally, Oh Dear Said The Deer proves to be a tale of true friendship, showing anything is possible, and a frozen deer can have fun in the snow after all.
Disclosure: I bought this when it was free.

Illustrated colorful children's book about animals and how they stay safe in the forest even when it's raining out.
The deer leaves to visit his friends houses to get a hat.
Love that he visits an ant, elephant, rhino and other animals to collect hats for his friends who are out in the rain or snow.
He's not able to go out because no hat will fit over his antlers. His friends have an idea....

Cuento para niños pequeños que puede ayudar a estimular la consciencia de los valores de compasión, solidaridad y equipismo. El relato es sencillo, la trama es básica y las ilustraciones son encantadoras. De niño hubiera devorado este libro en contados minutos, ¿por qué no incluir media docena de cuentos en el libro?

The story of this one is really cute for little kids.
Admittedly, I think the little kids will be happy with the illustrations, as well, because they're small and won't be judgmental about such things. However, the illustrations do leave a little to be desired if you're looking at it with a more adult and discerning eye.
Still, the overall story is very cute!

My kids loved "Oh Dear Said The Deer" and the funny illustrations too! This book is a bout a deer that's head is too cold so it wants a hat. He goes and asks his friends if he can borrow one but can't until one friend comes up with a solution.
Great rhyming words and an enjoyable story for all.

Story was cute
If the illustrations matched up with the story or if the boys liked the illustrations, I would have rated it higher. Because of those two the boys didn't have a lot of interest with this book.

Cute
What a cute book on friendship and care. When we love our friends, we try to find ways to help with their dilemmas. I love how they came together and found a solution. I also loved the rhyming.

This is a great book about not giving up, friendship and helping others.
The deer could have been frustrated, but his friends wanted him to play outside without being cold. The friend’s had connections and had a special hat made for him, so he was not left out.
