Olive, the Other Reindeer

Olive, the Other Reindeer 
by Vivian Walsh; illustrated by J Otto Siebold

Olive is merrily preparing for Christmas when suddenly she realizes "Olive... the other Reindeer... I thought I was a dog. Hmmm, I must be a Reindeer!" So she quickly hops aboard the polar express and heads to the North Pole. And while Santa and the other reindeer are a bit surprised that a dog wants to join the their team, in the end Olive and her unusual reindeer skills are just what Santa and his veteran reindeer team need. This is always one of our favorite Christmas books to read to our class!  Colorful graphic illustrations accompany this zany dog story from the well-known author and artist team, Vivian and J.Otto Seibold. Adorable Olive and her hilarious adventures are sure to make anyone's Christmas merry.

After a read aloud, we do this fun Olive the Other Reindeer activity (shown at left, free download available at the link).
