Review Detail

Dasher is just like kids at Christmas time and can’t wait so she goes exploring a nearby town. She has been told that the North Star will lead her home, but during a strong snowstorm she can’t see the sky and she’s wandered too far from home. With the help from a kind child, she makes it back just in time to help Santa.
The illustrations help convey the wonder of the season and Dasher’s feelings. The text is a bit heavy on some pages which might be difficult for younger readers. Overall, it is a lovely book that evokes the anticipation of the holiday and the giving spirit.
