I love holiday stories.
So I was happy to be able to review The Legend of Ranger, the Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly by Alan Salisbury, illustrated by Roberta Baird.
It also came with a CD that contained a song called Dream and Believe (Ranger's Song), that was quite catchy, as well as the audio book of The Legend of Ranger, the Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly.
The book is about what the title implies: a reindeer named Ranger, who can't fly. He's Rudolph's brother. He dreams of being able to help fly Santa's sleigh. He yearns to find out the secret of flying. Will he be able to figure it out?
The book is longer than most children's picture books, but my daughter still enjoyed it. She's learning to read, so she liked figuring out the various words:
The book is also filled with wonderful pictures about Ranger's life at the North Pole:
The Legend of Ranger, The Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly is written by a retired Commanding General. You can find out more about Alan Salisbury here.
To learn more about the book, go to this website, where you can view a trailer.
BUY The Legend of Ranger, The Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly here. It's only $12.95! You can also buy the CD and a stuffed Ranger toy, or you can buy a bundle with everything for $29.
You can feel good about buying the book, because ALL the profits are being donated to the Antonia J Gaillourakis Endowed Fund in Art Therapy for Children with Cancer.
So add another fantastic book to your Christmas collection! This will be one that you'll enjoy for years to come.
**I was given a free copy of the book and CD to review. My opinions are my own**
