by Geraldine McCaughrean (Author), Heather Holland (Illustrator)
The reindeer think they look so ugly with their knobbly antlers, they hide themselves away in the cold lonely North - away from the stares and laughter of the other animals, away from the glaring sunlight. Then, one winter day, Father Christmas needs help to pull his heavy sleigh. Of all the animals in the world, only the shy reindeer step forward. In return Father Christmas gives them a very special, magical gift the gift of flight on Christmas Eve. A wonderful Christmas story from Geraldine McCaughrean with stunning artwork from new illustrator Heather Holland.
