If you're a fan of the TV classic and want to share the story with young ones--or are perhaps new to the story for some reason--Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is one of the most beloved, enduring holiday shows of all time! -- Janet Boyer, author of The Back in Time Tarot Book

"I want to be a dentist!"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Hermey the elf are simple misfits in Santa's Christmastown. They set off together and manage to find others who also are unique individuals, e.g., Yukon Cornelius, the toys of the Island of Misfit Toys, and the Abominable Snowman ("Bumbles Bounce!"). You will see all the great characters from the classic TV program (with the exception of the Burl Ives narrating snowman). Sit back and read this little book to your favorite kids. It's a happy Christmas story of acceptance and love.
