Baby Santa and the Missing Reindeer

I read Baby Santa and the Missing Reindeer by Maitland DeLand
I received a free digital copy through NetGalley
5 stars




All of Santa's reindeer are missing. Baby Santa will search the globe and find them.

This rhyming book is educational, repetitive in a good way, and overall just fun to read. I would love to read this one during story time. It has predictable text that the kids would be able to say along with the reader. Plus, the rhyming text really does flow well.

Kids will be able to hear about different countries and see where they are on a map. I love the educational aspect of this series. I didn't feel like this book fit into the rest of the series though. The others don't rhyme or follow any kind of repetitive text pattern. They are purely stories. Also, while these are the same characters, they are a different ethnicity than they were in the other books. As a stand-alone book, I definitely give it 5 stars. If I had to give it a rating based on how well it fit into the Baby Santa series, I would drop it a star for the different writing styles and the confusion that might come about by the different illustrations.
