Tiny Reindeer by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros

4.0

I would like to thank Netgalley and Chris Naylor- Ballesteros for an advanced reader copy in exchange of an honest review. Tiny reindeer by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros follows a reindeer that is much smaller then all the other reindeer. Every year he tries to help but he always seems to create more work then help. No one knows what to do with tiny reindeer and just as tiny reindeer was starting to lose hope Santa had an idea for tiny reindeer. Santa recommended that tiny reindeer have a look at the post office. Tiny reindeer soon discovers a purpose for himself but only if he is willing to take a leap of courage and work for it. I loved this cute Christmassy tale as it was very realistic. However, my favourite part was that the story showed that if you want something you have to be willing to take risks. The artwork was truly beautiful as all the small details really made the art stand out. Overall, I recommend this book for early readers as the language is easy to understand and the artwork acts as an initiative for the reader to continue to read. The story is not short or long it’s the right amount where you won’t get bored or feel as if the story is missing details. Overall, the story was a very cute Christmas read.
