Description
One week to go ‘till Christmas Day,
The final touches underway,
A ribbon here, a flourish there,
And presents piled up everywhere.
Santa smiled. ‘What could go wrong?’
He didn’t have to wait too long . . .
Out of the sky a whirling blur,
Of antlers, legs and soft brown fur,
Came crashing through the workshop roof,
And that’s how Rudolph sprained his hoof . . .
Oh no! Another Christmas disaster! The sleigh can’t fly without Rudolph. Luckily, head engineer Lizzie is on hand to help . . . introducing ROBO-REINDEER! Christmas is saved once more.

Poor Rudolph sprained his hoof after a fall, and Santa needs someone new to lead his sleigh team. Santa and the elves consider a number of other animals (a moose, hare and zebra all figure), until Lizzie the elf shows Santa what she built: a robot reindeer! With Rudolph remote controlling it, together they manage to save Christmas.
Full of humour and illustrations that are full of energy, this whimsical tale of everyone working together is fun and cute.
Thank you to Netgalley and to Faber & Faber for this ARC in exchange for my review.

SANTA’S NEW REINDEER by Caroline Crowe, and illustrated by Jess Pauwels focuses on the search for a replacement reindeer in the face of Rudolph’s sprained hoof. From a donkey to rabbit, zebra, ostrich and moose no other animal was able to fill in for poor Rudolph until Santa’s head engineer builds a robo-reindeer, the perfect replacement for the injured Rudolph.
Told in several different rhyme schemes but mostly AABB, SANTA’S NEW REINDEER is a fun and enjoyable story for children 4-8 years. The images are colorful and detailed, comedic and humorous.The language and text easy to read . An enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.
Not even reindeer is safe from AI replacement! Seriously though, the story is a very sweet Christmas story with fun illustrations. Rudolph seems like the one that would get injured before showtime.
