Little Reindeer's Christmas Wish by Alexander Robinson and Clare Fennell and published by Make Believe Ideas is a lovely story about a little reindeer who has a wish to fly with Santa. It's a lovely story to read around Christmas time with nice sized writing which includes some big bold words and the pictures are bright, colourful and fun to look at. As Christmas is coming up I thought that I would do a Christmassy book with some fun ideas to do around Christmas time. We went to a Christmas light switch on at the weekend and C was lucky enough to see Santa and get a present from him which was this book. We made the gingerbread house yesterday. I always struggle with keeping the roof on as it tends to slide off but we had lots of fun making it and C decorated it with lots of yummy treats.
