#Review Randolph the Christmas Moose: A Yuletide Fable of Empowerment by Gerry Gibson

November 20, 2020December 18, 2020 Fiona Beck Valley Book Tours

Randolph the Moose lives with his mother in the Great White North. After a chance encounter with the reindeer from Santa Claus’ sleigh-pulling team, Randolph finds new joy in trail running as he trains to join the reindeer in Santa’s flight school. But when the head elf places him at the workshop loading dock instead (due to his tremendous bulk), Randolph has to use his brains and work ethic to earn respect at his new job… and even save Christmas.

Imagine Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, except…

– Randolph has a healthy self-image

– Randolph has a more positive outlet for his feelings

– Randolph runs, but not away from his problems

– Randolph is pro-active, refusing to let Santa’s workshop define him as a moose

REVIEW

Randolph is a moose, and he really wants to to help Santa pull his sleigh, but being a Moose everyone laughed at him and told he couldn’t do it as he wasn’t a reindeer yet that doesn’t stop him from trail running as he trains to join the reindeer in Santa’s flight school. But he still doesn’t get into the flight school, because of his height and strength he is put to work loading in the workshop. Soon he begins to get noticed for his skills and when Rudolph plays a trick on the other reindeer that means they cant fly Randolph is asked to step in to help.

Randolph the Christmas Moose covers topics that include acceptance, endurance and bulling in a way that a child will understand, it is a great book to create a talking point on these issues with your children, and I know I strive my best to instil acceptance with my kids. They loved this book especially my youngest and the illustration are just beautiful and compliment the story well.
