Advent Reads Day 13: Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever by Matt Tavares

Welcome to Advent Reads!
This is an event I have had on my blog for several years running now.  Each evening I feature a different holiday themed book. Think of it as your Book Advent Calendar! I post a variety of holiday books including romance, children's, middle-grade, mystery, paranormal, and I try to find some that are other holiday celebrations than Christmas too. I hope you will stop by each evening to see what new book I have for you!


Read for: Children's Book Challenge

Synopsis: "Dasher is an adventurous young reindeer with a wish in her heart. She spends her days with her family under the hot sun in a traveling circus, but she longs for a different life -- one where there is snow beneath her hooves and the North Star above her head. One day, when the opportunity arises, Dasher seizes her destiny and takes off in pursuit of the life she wants to live. It's not long before she meets a nice man in a red suit with a horse-drawn sleigh -- a man named Santa. And soon, with the help of a powerful Christmas wish, nothing will be the same."


My Review: I absolutely loved the cover on this one so knew I wanted to read it. The art is stunning throughout this book. I really enjoy how it took something as familiar as the reindeer and gave them a slightly different origin story. It was a cute story and little ones will enjoy listening to it and looking at the beautiful pictures.


My Rating: This is such an aesthetically pleasing book, the images were so vibrant and eye catching. And I loved idea of a reindeer origin story. A really enjoyable book that can be read again and again. We give it a rating of Four Paws!
