Synopsis:
Santa is ready to leave on Christmas Eve, but he can't find the reindeer anywhere. Dasher is busy dashing, Donner is dozing, and Cupid is crooning. It isn't until Santa remembers their annual tradition--reading a Christmas story together--that the reindeer are ready.
Reindeer merriment abounds in this charming yuletide tale about honoring the celebration of holiday customs with those you love.
Our Thoughts:
It is the night before Christmas and Santa is ready to deliver gifts but the reindeer are nowhere to be found! They're busy with other things and have forgotten Christmas Eve, or so Santa thinks, at least until he remembers their traditional Christmas story!
Even though Santa has no idea where any of them are, we are shown what each of his reindeer are up to. Dasher dashes, Dancer dances, and Donner dozes while Santa is busy doing everything he can think of to round them up.
This is a fun and beautifully illustrated story about Santa, his reindeer, and the wonderful Christmas Eve tradition of reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'.
This story is set outside in the reindeer's natural habitat so the entire book is filled with snow! Snow on the ground, trees, and falling through the air! I have a particular appreciation for snowy books so all the snow made me extra happy!
On top of all the lovely snow, we enjoyed the extra forest critters, the snowman, and the fact that Santa has a dog! There's also lots of fun text in differing sizes that give emphasis to the actions, dialogue, and onomatopoeia.
