A TOUCHING HOLIDAY STORY

Author/illustrator Tim Coffey offers a unique slant on Christmas in this story of a curious young reindeer who wonders where his Papa has gone. Winter is Little Reindeer's favorite time of year because that's when Papa tells him a beloved bedtime story all about "a place where the ground rises up to the sky and you are high enough to touch the stars." Little Reindeer wondered and wondered about this magical place - where in the world could it be? Then a cold night comes when Papa says he is going on a journey. When Little Reindeer says he wants to go too, Papa tells him he must wait. But, you know how curious young animals can be, and Little Reindeer soon follows his father. Before he knew it his Mama and all the other animals were following him. They walked until they came upon a tall tree decorated in a way that they had never seen before, and met a kindly old man with a twinkle in his eye. Youngsters will have no difficulty in guessing who this man is. "Christmas At The Top of the World" is one more touching story to be enjoyed during the holiday season. - Gail Cooke
