Twice as Nice!
Celebrate the season with this gift set. It includes two Christmas books that come in a festive slipcase, along with four illustrated, punch-out decorations.
The first book, “Dasher,” tells the story of the reindeer family’s sad beginning. They are being held by a mean man who forces them to work hard at night. Their days are spent cramped together in the heat, while people crowd around to see them.
One night, Dasher escapes, meets Santa, and her whole life changes. She discovers the joy of flying with the sleigh, the cool snow of the North Pole, and all the carrots she wants.
Her joy is complete when Santa makes it possible for her entire family to get free. They all get a new, wonderful life with Santa at the North Pole.
The second book, “Dasher Can’t Wait for Christmas,” continues the story of Dasher. In this tale, she is having trouble waiting for Christmas Eve. That is because Dasher loves decorated Christmas trees, hearing Christmas carols, and seeing the Christmas lights from the air!
One night, Dasher hears Christmas carols, and flies through the air to find them. It is much further than she thought, but she spots them. Dasher gets to hear and see all the things she loves.
Because it is snowing when Dasher leaves, she can’t see the north star to guide her home. She is not sure if she is going in the right direction. Tired, Dasher must land, and then falls asleep. She is awakened by a little girl—and it is Christmas Eve day. Will she get home in time to pull Santa’s sleigh?
Both hardbacked, picture books have happy endings, and beautiful illustrations done by the author. They are a joy to look at, while the stories will touch youngsters, as well as, adults’ hearts.
These will be loved by all who like Christmas, and want to enjoy more of its charm. This lovely five-star set would be a delight to own, or to be gifted.
