I love to read to my son every night and to read different kind of books on the same stories. It let's him see others see things differently.

This is a text retelling of the 1964 television classic. The illustrations perfectly match the TV version. Because this is a retelling, it is a little bit stilted. The story does not flow like the original song which was used to make the TV show. If you need Christmas books for board book patrons, buy it. They will be able to tell the story by the pictures. I would not use it as a read aloud.

Feldman, Thea. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, BOARD BOOK. Henry Holt and Company, 2016. $10.99.

Based on the original television holiday classic, Rudolph is run all over the land because his bright red nose is attracting the Abominable Snow Monster. He finally decides that he can’t keep running forever and finally confronts him. His friends help him incapacitate the Snow Monster and Rudolph decides it’s better to be different and proud to be yourself. He gets to help Santa through a terrible storm with his bright nose and save the day.

This board book is just like the TV classic.

This board book version of the classic story of a reindeer who was teased by others for being different brought back my childhood memories of watching the television program at every Christmas season. Since the classic was first aired in 1964, that makes sense, of course, since I was young at that time. Many of the scenes seemed quite familiar, and once again, my heart swelled with pain for poor Rudolph after the other reindeer bullied him and made fun of him. Thank goodness the story has a happy ending or it would be too hard to bear. Having the story in a board book format means it will be able to stand up to repeated readings, which is a very good thing. Naturally, there are many important lessons in the story about judging others or belittling someone who is a little bit different from the norm.
