Jan Brett has long been a favorite author of mine. She writes - and illustrates - books for children. One of my favorite books for the season is one by her…The Wild Christmas Reindeer.
The plot of the story is about Teeka who had been asked by Santa to prepare the reindeer for flying on Christmas Eve.
I fall in love with the illustrations the author creates for all her books. These are especially beautiful.
Sure enough, Teeka was successful, though it was a challenging task to be sure all the reindeer understood their mission.
Not only does the author illustrate the main story she is writing, she also includes additional illustrations in the margins of the pages. They tell another story. In this book, it’s all about the elves busy in the workshop.
Everything is prepared by Christmas Eve, and Teeka is able to have a good night of slumber!
Only twenty more days until Christmas morning!
What a lovely book and the illustrations are fantastic.
