Rudi Caribo is a cute story for children about the life of a caribou or reindeer. At first, it seemed kind of scary, mentioning all the predators that can attack a little one like Rudi. The illustrations of the book were excellent. Great review!

I found the information about Caribou given in this book educational and informative. The beautiful pictures of these creatures help us to understand their survival instinct and how they migrate to safe places in winter.

Just like you, we don't have caribou where I'm from, so I also found this book educational. Yes, the illustrations were beautiful and helped complete the story. I agree with your 5 out of 5 assessment. A wonderful book for children of all ages.

Charity begins at home. Well, so should awareness about nature. Caribou species face a threat of extinction as the numbers are dwindling rapidly. This book is a thoughtful initiative. The illustrations are life-like and realistic and the sentences are the perfect length to hold the attention of a child.

It is a tale about mental fortitude, determination, and the significance of following your fantasies. The story is likewise instructive, as it shows kids the existence of a caribou and the difficulties they face.

Thank you for this book and review. Even as an adult I found this informative. Quite apt to have read this now before Christmas and be introduced to Rubi. The illustrations were simple but effective and having the narrator as Rudi will make this enjoyable for small children.

Caribou or Reindeer is a species of deer. The author has described their way of survival in this challenging environment, their predators and the way they rescue from them, they migrate from one region to another. Picture illustrations will help children to further attract to read the features of the book. Congrats on BOTD.
