This review is from: Olive The Orphan Reindeer (Paperback)

This is a beautiful little book with a captivating heroine. "Olive" is written in a style which will appeal to children and adults alike, and the illustrations are delightful. It is time for a new Christmas story, and my hat's off to Michael Christie for producing one that I'm sure will become a classic. My nieces in England loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpectedly Wonderful Christmas Story, December 13, 2000

By 

"[e-mail]" (Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Olive The Orphan Reindeer (Paperback)

My 7 year old son and I just finished reading Olive, the Orphan Reindeer. What a delightful story. Each year we read The Night Before Christmas, The Christmas Carol, or Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, it was nice to discover a new title to add to our holiday reading. The press release stated that this book was geared toward the age group 9-12. My 7 year old read this book with ease and understanding. I agree with Michael, this book is for anyone who believe in Christmas.

Good Job, Are there other books available by this author?

This review is from: Olive The Orphan Reindeer (Paperback)

When Michael Christie first approached me via email with his wonderful children's Christmas story and the opportunity to post it on my website, I jumped at the chance. Not only is the story a sheer delight for children's imaginations, it's a marvel for any adult with the heart of a child. Michael has done an excellent job in weaving a wonderful tale of old-fashioned Christmas lore while at the same time incorporating contemporary details that today's child will relate to. And the depiction of Olive and her friends through Margeaux Lucas' illustrations are beautiful in and of themselves. Olive has quickly become a classic in my heart for many Christmases to come. Treat yourself and everyone you know - don't let this treasure get by you this year!
