As Santa Claus is giving his reindeer a treat after a long night of delivering presents, he notices something alarming. Prancer has disappeared Where in the world could he be? In the Philippine Islands? Or Sweden? Or Sioux City, Iowa? Santa and the other reindeer have got to find him in the twinkling of an eye, because if they don't, there may never be another Christmas... This holiday classic from the creator of Danny and the Dinosaur, available for the first time in a full-color paperback edition, will spread Christmas cheer to a whole new generation of readers.
My five-year-old daughter is captivated, and she should be: the pictures are hilarious (eight reindeer standing matter-of-factly with carrots in their mouths), and the gentle absurdity (Prancer is ambling through Philadelphia when the police get a call) sparkles. No irony or edginess or overt cleverness, just a simple wonderful world unto itself.
