Eight Jolly Reindeer

Readers can count down from eight to one, while acquainting themselves with the names of Santa’s reindeer, in this board book with a tabbed format and glitter accents. The reindeer are an active bunch, it turns out—Rogers shows them stretching, playing soccer, sledding, skiing, and more: “Five jolly reindeer/ ready to soar./ Up goes Vixen/ and then there are...” The conclusion to each rhyme does double duty as the start to the next one. It’s a cheerful holiday counting rhyme with plenty of reindeer antics to go around. Ages 2–4. (Sept.)
