Description
Description
A hilarious and heartwarming Christmas story about a moose who wants to be one of Santa's reindeer. This charming picture book comes from the comic minds of the the duo that brought you I Don't Want to Be a Frog and Don't Eat Bees. Dear Mr. Claus,
I am writing to apply for the temporary Christmas reindeer position . . . When Santa places a job listing in the North Pole newspaper for a replacement reindeer, Elmore the moose eagerly applies. Sure, he can't actually, you know . . . fly, but how hard could it be In scene after scene of hilariously dedicated trying . . . and failing, Elmore perseveres in his dream to become a part of Santa's trusted team. Young readers will love Elmore's wry, funny letters to Santa as he continues on his quest. And they will shed a happy tear when the perfect opportunity arises for Elmore to shine simply by being himself. Families at Christmas (and many Christmases to come) will love sharing this heartfelt, hilarious tale about a can-do moose who embodies the true spirit of the holiday.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This comical, warmhearted story with an original twist will not only have kids giggling and rooting for Elmore; it will also confirm their belief that wonders really do happen at Christmas. Elmore's tongue-in-cheek correspondence will elicit belly laughs. . . . A delightful Christmas tale that has it all--holiday cheer, joy, and a most persistent moose."--Kirkus "Santa's management skills are put to the test in this chuckle-inducing tale. . . . Petty gives Elmore lots of giggle-worthy lines and an always sunny perspective, and Boldt's zippy digital artwork showcases bright-eyed characters and funny extras for readers to examine."--Publishers Weekly "Boldt's cartoon-style illustrations playfully embrace the absurdity of Petty's story."--The Horn Book
