Review

★ "Beautifully conceived and finely wrought." —Booklist, starred review

"This tale with its humorous close-ups of stubborn reindeer and a sharp child protagonist should prove popular at story hours."—School Library Journal

About the Author

With over thirty four million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation's foremost author illustrators of children's books. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. During the summer her family moves to a home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts.

As a child, Jan Brett decided to be an illustrator and spent many hours reading and drawing. She says, "I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books. Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I'm drawing really exists. The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real."

As a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. "It was overwhelming to see the room-size landscapes and towering stone sculptures, and then moments later to refocus on delicately embroidered kimonos and ancient porcelain," she says. "I'm delighted and surprised when fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting."

Travel is also a constant inspiration. Together with her husband, Joe Hearne, who is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Jan visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. "From cave paintings to Norwegian sleighs, to Japanese gardens, I study the traditions of the many countries I visit and use them as a starting point for my children's books."

Book was not new

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020

The book arrived shrink-wrapped but when opened it was not new. It was a used book though in good quality. I still cannot give it away as a gift, unfortunately. It was not advertised as used. It would have been helpful to have the publishing date on the book description. It it had been available, I would have been more careful in my purchase/or lack of purchase. The publishing date was 1990.

FINDING OUT WHOSE BOSS!

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

In the story of THe Wild Christmas Reindeer, Teeka has been asked to get the deer ready to pull Santa's sleigh. It seems like the harder she tries the worse the deer behave until she finally realizes that she is being too bossy and not paying attention to the deer. Once she realized that they know what to do and have their own way of doing things, she found that they were ready to do their job! This book was a little over my PreK students heads but the illustrations kept their attention and it is a great story.

Gorgeous illustrations, poor story

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017

This book is so beautiful, but the story just doesn't cut it. It's about a little girl learning to be less bossy, which is a problematic theme our culture has already done to death. But even beyond that, the phrasing is awkward and the pacing is inconsistent. I love the illustrations and wish the author had just been the illustrator, because with a better writer this could have been a classic.

Nice addition to our Jan Brett Collection

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

We are a huge fan of Jan Brett at our house. The art and story in this book do not disappoint. It is a bit of a longer story for very young children, but my 3 year old who has a very good attention span enjoyed it. It was a story I had never heard and I really like what it added to my daughter's beliefs about Santa and the north pole, as well as, the lesson at the end. I would say that this is nearly my favorite book by Brett, but it is a great addition to our collection.

The shipping was on time and the book came in great condition.

Jan Brett’s illustrations are why I buy these books for my grandchildren. Her characters, borders and costuming are astonishingly correct.

The most lovely Christmas book ever written.

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

One of Jan Bretts' most exceptional and beautiful books. THis has been a favorite of mine for my students and myself for years. Jan's stories are dynamic and the pages incredibly detailed with borders and interesting animals of the forest. A wonderful book to give to coworkers kids (also cheaper than giving the coworker a giftcard, and they love giving stuff to their kids). You wont be disappointed by the exceptional illustrations and especially the variety and beauty and personality of each of the reindeer. A favorite for a hundred years.

Perfect pictures

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018

A nice story but the illustrations are the show stopper. They are so beautiful and funny and lively. You would know exactly what was going on without the words because the facial expressions and detail are just that good which makes it perfect for young children who cant read yet
