Preparing kids for fate of Bambi's mom a must - Washington Times

The story of Bambi and his delightful friends Thumper, the rabbit, and Flower, the skunk, his mother and father, The Great Prince of the Forest has been read to kids for years. It is a beautiful story but has a great sadness too. Bambi lives in the forest with his mother, and his father The Great Prince of the Forest. All day Bambi romps and plays with his friends Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk. But, his father warns him about the hunters, waiting in the meadow ... we all know the rest ! But, in my version, Bambi's mother is not killed, the forest is not set on fire, and his mother comes home to their den safe and kisses Bambi to sleep. The forest remains green and lush and Bambi, grows up big and strong and has lots of babies, while Bambi's mother becomes a proud grandma.

Linda, thank you for the compliment and congratulations. When my mum read me Bambi as a child, I would cry into my pillow when Bambi's mum died. My mum died when I was an adult and I have cried since that day, hugs, Constance

Thanks for the Happy Ending! I showed this to my kids when they were really young. They all screamed when Bambi's mother was shot. Unfortunately, I hadn't remembered that part... So, good for you. ~ Gershon

Gershon, thank you for the compliment and for sharing. I always wished for a different ending to that story and now I had the opportunity to do it ! Children should not have to face death so young there is plenty of time for that in this cruel world, blessings, Constance

I like your version of Bambi. I still remember watching the movie as a small child and sobbing when Bambi's mother was killed. As an adult I sometimes wonder why sadness was introduced to small children. I guess the dose of reality was helpful, but I was temporarily crushed. Anyway, your version was creative, hopeful, and well done. Have a pleasant day, hugs, Sara

Sara, thank you for the compliment, I was like you when Bambi's mother died I cried, my mom, said she would not read it to me anymore, but of course she did. Poor Bambi, poor mother, and the forest was on fire, hugs, Constance
