Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
What's This Book About
The original story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer–written in verse by his creator, Robert L. May–now with charming new illustrations! Every year at Christmastime, everyone–young and old alike–has one catchy, joy-inspiring song stuck in their heads: “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!” Now fans of the most famous reindeer of all-time can fall in love with the original story, written by Robert L. May in 1939. Rudolph, a youthful reindeer buck who possesses an unusual luminous red nose, is harassed mercilessly and excluded by his peers because of this trait. One particularly stormy Christmas Eve, Rudolph manages to prove himself after Santa Claus catches sight of his nose and asks him to lead his sleigh for the evening. Rudolph agrees, saving Christmas, and is finally treated the way he deserves by his fellow reindeer!

Reviews
This is a straightforward retelling of the classic Rudolph story, which is nice to have on the shelf sometimes. The artwork is fun and detailed, with a lot to look at on each page. There is quite a lot of text on each page--I think too much text for a board book--but the fact that the entire story is delivered in rhyming couplets really does help. Don't expect any surprises or plot twists, but if you're looking for a solid, classic version of Rudolph, this is a great option.
