“Dasher” by Matt Tavares, Author & Illustrator

Santa’s First Reindeer!

How did Santa Claus come to have reindeer pulling his sleigh?  He didn’t always have reindeer.  In this story, we learn that originally the jolly old elf had a horse, Silverbell.   Dasher and her family lived a dreary life pulling heavy loads at night, and spent their days closely penned together.  But she always dreamed of being in a cold north country.

This fun story gives more details about Santa’s life.  Children will experience the astonishment Dasher has when she flies through the air for the first-time.

Even though Dasher goes through hard times, she doesn’t give up her dreams.  When she gets the opportunity for a better life, she takes it, and brings her family with her!

The illustrations on all the pages of this book are beautiful, and capture the story perfectly.  Over-sized and hard-backed, this picture book will appeal to little one’s imaginations.  Children who like the wonder of Christmas time, and legends of Santa, will enjoy this 5-star book.

Candlewick Press has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of Dasher, for the purpose of review.   I have not been compensated in any other manner. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
