Christmas Book Review - Elmore the Christmas Moose

Christmas is a wonderful time to give books to the children we love - and if you, like me, give a gift after your Christmas tree goes up, then Elmore the Christmas Moose by Dev Petty and illustrated by Mike Boldt is the perfect book to give!

Favorite Features -

  • Colorful illustrations add to the fun of this sweet Christmas story.
  • This story gives you the wonderful opportunity to talk with the children you love about not giving up, doing your best, dreaming, and trying new things.
  • Be sure to read the inside covers - the want ads are wonderful!
Penguin Random House says, "A hilarious and heartwarming Christmas story about a moose who wants to be one of Santa's reindeer. This charming picture book comes from the comic minds of the the duo who brought you I Don't Want to Be a Frog and Don't Eat Bees.

Dear Mr. Claus,

I am writing to apply for the temporary Christmas reindeer position . . . When Santa places a job listing in the North Pole newspaper for a replacement reindeer, Elmore the moose eagerly applies. Sure, he can't actually, you know . . . fly, but how hard could it be??

In scene after scene of hilariously dedicated trying . . . and failing, Elmore perseveres in his dream to become a part of Santa's trusted team. Young readers will love Elmore's wry, funny letters to Santa as he continues on his quest. And they will shed a happy tear when the perfect opportunity arises for Elmore to shine simply by being himself. 

Families at Christmas (and many Christmases to come) will love sharing this heartfelt, hilarious tale about a can-do moose who embodies the true spirit of the holiday."

If my grandchildren were younger, Elmore the Christmas Moose  would absolutely be one of the gifts they would get to open on Thanksgiving after we put our tree up - you will find it at this link.
