Chatting Books Online Day 262. Today's recommended book is "Dasher" by Matt Tavares. As soon as I read this new Christmas book last year I knew it would long be a favorite of mine.
Dasher is the story of a family of reindeer who lived a somewhat hard life with a traveling carnival. But there were good parts too. Dasher, a young female reindeer in the family, particularly loved getting to meet all the children some of whom brought her carrots which were her most favorite food. Dasher's mother would sometimes tell a story about a lovely place she used to live that was covered in a soft blanket of snow and absolutely magical. This wonderful place was directly below the north star and seemed perfect so when the pen gate blew open one night Dasher took her chance and ran for the north star. She travelled for hours not getting any closer and then she heard bells and saw Santa standing next to a sleigh and a horse named Silverbell. Seems Silverbell used to pull Santa's sleigh but the job was getting to be too much. You will have to read the book to see how it ends (wink wink). I will say however that they lived Happily Ever After.
