Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever Review: The artwork is beautiful - Such a sweet story with beautiful artwork! It is a little on the longer side so may not be good for younger kids with short attention spans Review: Our very favorite Christmas book - Absolutely beautiful illustrations. A lovely, sweet, well written story that we literally never tire of. I bought this book for my daughter when she was 5 & she is 7 now. We read this book year round - it is so feel good. Edited 1.5 years later - We still love this book. Never a month passes without reading Dasher, rarely a week. My daughter owns nearly 600 books. She read 40 *new* books in August alone, so we do a whole lot of reading in this house. And we still, time and again, come back to Dasher. We love this book so much that I'm back today to order a copy for a friend's granddaughter. While here to place that order I noticed all the negative reviews and felt the need to address them. I am absolutely astonished at how many people can create something to be offended about where there is nothing. Yes, Dasher & her family start the story in a travelling circus. There are zero descriptions of animal cruelty. There is absolutely nothing dark or scary. My daughter has been homeschooled her entire life & is beyond sheltered. She is gifted-intense, which comes with super emotional sensitivity & big, big feelings. Not only does Dasher not frighten or upset her, it is one of my top go-to books to help soothe her when she is upset about something. As for the ending being confusing, that is hog wash. There is nothing choppy or unclear or confusing in the story. Apparently there are more Grinches running amok in the world than I realized!

Super cute!
The story is very cute plus I didn't realize that female reindeer are the ones that have antlers during the winter so I learned something new! The illustrations are beautiful as well. the only reason I went with 4 stars instead of 5 was because the story had a really great start but then at the end fell a little flat.
