The Stuffed Reindeer

How much is too much when you are trying to help Santa's most famous reindeer?

Three days before Christmas, Freddy and Pip have one important job to do: make sure Rudolph is ready for his practice flight. Freddy is certain that more food means more energy. So one carrot becomes another, then apples, then scoop after scoop of oats.

Before long, Rudolph is very full. Very round. Very STUFFED.

What started as Freddy trying to help has turned into a very big Christmas problem. Can he work out what went wrong, put things right and get Rudolph flying again?

The Stuffed Reindeer is a funny Christmas reindeer story for children ages 3 to 6, filled with bright, colourful illustrations, comic sound effects, lively characters and playful repetition that makes it perfect for reading aloud.

Little listeners can join in with "JUST ONE MORE!", guess what Freddy might do next, laugh as Rudolph gets fuller and fuller and cheer for Freddy and Pip as they try to save the practice flight.

But there is more behind the laughter.

Beneath the laughs are two worthwhile ideas children can take from the story: even too much of a good thing can cause problems, however well-intentioned you are, and when you make a mistake, the right thing to do is tell the truth, own up to what happened and help put it right.

That makes the story fun to read while also giving parents and children something meaningful to talk about afterwards.

With short, lively text and expressive illustrations full of things to notice, The Stuffed Reindeer is designed to keep preschool and kindergarten children involved from beginning to end and make Christmas storytime enjoyable for the grown-ups reading it too.

With Santa, elves, reindeer and plenty of North Pole mischief, The Stuffed Reindeer is made for cosy Christmas storytimes, family reading and little readers who love funny festive adventures.

It is a lively Christmas picture book with humour, heart and a satisfying ending, giving children plenty to laugh about while leaving them with something worthwhile to talk about afterwards.

Children who enjoy a Christmas story with elf characters or an elf picture book packed with humour will love following Freddy, Pip and Rudolph through their very unusual Christmas adventure.

Can Freddy learn when enough really is enough and help Rudolph take to the sky?

There is only one way to find out.

Make The Stuffed Reindeer part of your Christmas storytime and discover a funny, feel-good adventure children will want to hear again and again.
