The Tale Of Charlotte & Christien The Curious Deer

This is a really neat picture book about the zodiac sign Gemini, and is the third instalment of the Zodiac Tales series. It tells the story of two fawns named Charlotte and Christien who were the first gemini twins to enter the world. The story brings in some elements of greek mythology as well as the ideas related to the zodiacs while telling a fun story for kids about the forest, nature and life. It also explores symbols and constellations and how they relate to the zodiac signs. As a grade 3 teacher (and a lover of astrology) I would definitely choose this book for my classroom library. It is a fun story that can also teach about a belief system and Greek culture and history. I would recommend this book to teachers and families of children in the 5-10 age range. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book! I also look forward to checking out the future books in this series soon!

Charlotte and Christien are twins. They learn from their grandparents of a wonderful hidden forest for deer called Compiegne known to hold the secrets of their origin. The twins decide to find this mysterious hidden forest. When the other deer find out what the twins intend to do, they tell the twins not to do it. It is too dangerous. It doesn’t change Charlotte and Christine’s minds. They are on their journey. Will they find Compiegne? Will they discover that it is only a myth?

The author has written a story that is the third zodiac tale of his series. The artwork is beautiful. The story is amazing. It exceeded my expectations.
