From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-Santa is looking everywhere for his lead reindeer, the one with the red nose. But because he's wearing no glasses or the wrong glasses or dirty glasses or the room is steamy, he keeps mistaking round, red objects for the missing animal. Readers are treated to super-sized pop-ups with each opening of a gatefold page, revealing a tree with ornaments, a cake with cherries, and a red-nosed rabbit. Finally the reindeer appears, with a gift for Santa: spiffy new glasses (with red frames, naturally). With them, Santa says he'll "-be able to find all the children and make sure they have gifts on Christmas morning." Bold, stylized illustrations literally burst off the sturdy pages, which, when fully opened, may easily extend across three laps.-S. P.
