Wow! First off, I'm just knowing that the name of this animal is Caribou. The first time I saw it, it was in a movie but that wasn't the name they gave it there this was because they needed the animal to gain more power, I'd love to read this book to know more about the animal.

Thanks for the review. This book is both informative and educational for children. I had no idea what Caribou was until I read the book. I also discovered something fascinating about Caribou from this book, which I think will make for good reading especially this Christmas season as a way of helping children grasp a few concepts on Christmas. The illustrations were also excellent, just like you saw them. I'm sure children will love this book.

The review provided comprehensive information, covering all necessary details. Before this, I had no knowledge or exposure to caribou. The intriguing aspect lies in the narrator being a caribou, and I'm eager to delve into the pages of the book to learn more.

I think this was definitely a great idea for a children's book. It's good for them to learn about animals and how they live, eg: immigration each year for specific reasons. I'm happy to hear that the illustrations are top notch as this is what draws children in when they read it or when read to them. I also don't know caribou so I'll find this interesting too😊😉. Thanks for a lovely review.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I agree it is a great book and so informational too. I'm much older than the target audience for this book, but I adore children's books. I learned a lot from this one too and in a fun manner. I also agree with you and how lovely the illustrations are. I enjoyed reading the whole book and I also give it a perfect rating.

It's great that the author named a caribou and told the story as if Rudi the caribou was telling it. Some very interesting facts about caribou are shared in the book, e.g. how fast they can run, who their natural predators are and the huge distances that they migrate. Thank you for the interesting review.

I think that all books that introduces living and non-living things to children deserve to be taken into account. And of course, its appeal to children will be the driving factor. Never mind the adults! They would tinker and read it anyway, whatever is in there! Yes, I would do that for every childrens’ books. But of course, it would be better if the book has an appeal that will make adults believe children will like and will learn from it. From the review, the book has all the characteristics needed. I just thought will there be a good story? A simple but good story. Yes, it will. A little bit of a complication in the story perhaps would be an added appeal especially to adults but it is not needed. And given that the review gives the book a high rating and a high positive view of it for children, it is definitely a go. I also do not know about these animals and we do not have it in here. I would also be interested to find the surprising facts for this animal.

The way the author used a calf caribou was a great way to introduce the reader to the species. The fact that the narrator, who is a caribou, was given a name was a nice touch, too. The illustrations were one of the best parts of this book and deserve all the praise. We don't have caribou where I come from, so I've always found them to be mysterious and fascinating. Some of the caribou's characteristics surprised even me, but I won't reveal them here so that readers can discover them through the book. I also loved that this book was educationa
