Mmmmm - Venison steaks...

From Central Pennsylvania's PennLive comes this story about some children's books:
Author pens books to educate kids on hunting
Mystery solved. Now we know who killed Bambi's father. It was Little Jake.

Utah-based author Rob Jacobs writes and publishes books about a little boy who likes to hunt. His "Little Jake's Big Bowhunt" is a re-telling of the Bambi story from the hunter's point of view.

Jacobs is part of a group of associated companies who have made it their business to help educate young people about hunting and the responsible, safe use of firearms.

Jacobs writes and sells the children's books. In the next booth at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show at the state Farm Show Complex, Alan Swartzlander and his crew from Keystone Sporting Arms in Milton specialize in the Davey Crickett brand rifles.

Jacobs has eight titles. There's "Little Jake's Big Bowhunt," and others in which Jake hunts in Alaska, in Africa, and catches a world-record bass.

There's also "Little Jake and the Three Bears." In that one, one of the bears does not come out of the hunt well, but his skin keeps Little Jake toasty through the next winter, and the little fella feasts on bear sausages while hunkered down under the rug.

But it's not all chest-beating and swagger. After Little Jake bags the bruin, he spends a contemplative moment thinking of what his warm rug has cost the bear, and thanks the animal for his sacrifice. He does a similar thing after he kills the King of the Forest, Bambi's father.

"It's all about casting hunting in a positive light," Jacobs said. "Kids today are only hearing one side. Hunting and firearms are part of our American tradition. All it will take is for the hunting tradition to skip one generation, and I'm afraid that will be it. We will lose it."
Very cool! Hunting is a long-standing tradition and it should not be lost. I bet the Berkeley, CA library has multiple copies -- NOT...
