Charming and truly amusing, even the youngest beginning readers will revel in the wonder and wildness of Otis the Reindeer. Penned by new author Dannah Mancuso, this whimsical tale is a modern Christmas fable about tenacity, ingenuity, and how a little thing like perspective can help make all the difference. Even better, it is a family affair with the author's seven-year-old son, Travis Mancuso, creating the illustrations. With a pitch perfect rhyming meter and incredibly bold color, Mancuso and son weave a moving tale of a reindeer named Otis who wants to learn how to fly and become a legendary reindeer. He sets out to distinguish himself from the others, namely, Rudolph the red-nosed wonder-deer. Otis holds his antlered head high and with a few brave moves, he finds a way to strike out from the herd in a way that is both extreme—and rewarding.
