    " Well gosh. I think the uninvited 'horn-guests' would have been better off if they'd been (politely) asked to leave. Thidwick shouldn't be teaching kids to be a doormat! And please note, these are antlers, not horns. Antlers shed & regrow annually, horns are permanent. "

    " Loved it until I neared the end - with the hunters and their guns. Oh but there was a shred of hope as Thidwick shed his horns. But the other animals still got stuffed. Would have made a great read-aloud if not for the end. "
