The Robin and The Reindeer
A little reindeer, lost in the forest ... and a robin, who will help her fly home; this is a gift book for children and parents to treasure. Little Reindeer is lost in the forest. It begins to snow. And as the snowflakes crowd through the trees, she catches a glimpse of something: a flash of startling red and wings blurring in the air. A robin! In a piece of woodland magic, the generous robin lends the red from his feathers to Little Reindeer's nose, and they fly home together. A perfect gift book for the winter season, with a gorgeous foiled and textured cover. For anyone who loves The Snowman by Raymond Briggs, or The Fox and the Star by Coralie Bickford-Smith.

This could make a nice beginner reader book. The illustrations are lovely but the storyline felt lacking. This was a longer story but with pictures on each page, ideal for children who want a story with more text or beginner readers that want more pictures.

This charming children’s tale is sure to give you the warm fuzzies no matter your age. We follow a young reindeer who is separated from her herd during a snowstorm. With the help of a plucky robin’s glowing red breast to guide her through the snow, she must learn to be brave so she can reunite with her family.
Saldana’s art is beautiful. It perfectly encapsulates the whimsy of the story, further enhancing the vivid imagery of the text and the story’s fable-esque feel. The prose itself is surprisingly lovely for a book aimed at young children (It’s hard to pin down, but I’d say the language and text length place the book half-way between a picture book and a middle grade novel).
It’s understandably simple, but there are fun elements that mean the book can serve as both a possible explanation behind Rudolph’s iconic red nose (no spoilers, but I’m sure you can guess what I’m hinting at), and as a charming take on the magic behind the northern lights.
Perfect, cosy escapism on a cold winter’s day for young and old alike.

“Червеношийката и еленчето” на Роза Бейли е една прекрасна коледна история, без да е непременно обвързана с празника.
Защо ли? Защото е нежна, топла. Защото е история за приятелството. За търсенето и намирането на собствения кураж. За смелостта. За откриването на светлината в края на тунела. Понякога се оказва, че тя е била в теб през цялото време, нужна е била само малко помощ, за да я запалиш.
Всичко това поднесено под формата на история за едно малко еленче, което губи пътя си в гората и се озовава само насред снега и настъпващата нощ. Но на помощ му се притичва една червеношийка - смела малка птичка, която му показва пътя към дома.
А накрая птицата дори не остава, за да получи заслужените поздравления и благодарности. Но вместо това е оставила на своя нов приятел нещо много по-ценно - нещо, което ще му помага винаги да намира пътя към дома.
За малките почитатели на елена Рудолф с червения нос, това е точната история, с която да ги зарадвате. История, която може да се чете не само по Коледа, а целогодишно.
Книгата е подходяща за деца над 5 години. Текстът е кратък и лесен за възприемане. Изпъстрена е с илюстрациите на Кармен Салданя, а преводът е на Ненко Генов.

Firstly this hardback cover with the shiny silver embellishments is stunning and would make such a great Christmas gift.
This is also a gorgeous magical story about a little reindeer that loses his way in the snow. A little Robin comes and helps light the way to lead him back to his family.
This is perfect as an Early reader but my seven year old enjoyed it as a longer story to share together at bedtime. The illustrations are beautiful. The perfect story of family and friendship to enjoy at Christmas. Thank you Toppsta for this wonderful giveaway prize.

'oh the world is very big,' he said wisely. 'But its all yours - if you' re brave enough to find it. '
Thank you so much to the publisher for sending me this in exchange for inclusion in an upcoming video.
This book is GORGEOUS. From the story, to the illustrations perfect for kids (and big kids) everywhere!

Vielen Dank an Netgalley und arsEdition für das kostenlose Leseexemplar!
Eine wirklich süße Geschichte mit erzieherischem Wert. Ein Rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-Retelling, das zwar nicht unbedingt nur zur Weihnachtszeit (vor-)gelesen werden kann aber eine schöne Einstimmung dafür bietet.

Rating: 3.5 stars
I picked this up because of the utterly adorable illustrations on the cover. It also sounded like a magical story that was perfect for the festive period. The story of a lost reindeer and the robin who helped her find her way home. It sounded heartwarming and adorable. And it is. There is plenty to enjoy about this book. It's the sweet story of overcoming adversity and helping others. Children will enjoy reading about the determined young reindeer who finds herself lost in the woods and unable to find her herd. Instead of giving up, she perseveres.
Her luck changes when she comes across a robin who uses his red feathers to help the reindeer find her way. With a bit of added Christmas magic, the pair eventually find their way in the snowy forest. It's no shock that it all ends quite happily because that's what you expect from this kind of book. It's not attempting to do anything original or different. This is just another cosy Christmas story.
My only real issue with this book is that it tries to get too complicated at times. At least for the age of the reader who would probably be listening to it. There are times when the story takes a strange turn and I wasn't always convinced by it. There were some moments where I was convinced that I'd missed a page because it didn't seem to move organically. It was a little jarring at times. However, on the whole, I think this could be a family favourite for this time of year. Especially thanks to the beautiful illustrations. They'd surely keep a child engaged.

Писателката Роза Бейли и една от звездите на световната детска илюстрация, Кармен Салданя, ни поднасят нежна и трогателна зимна приказка, която идва тъкмо навреме за празниците от изд. „Timelines“ (които ще откриете на щанд 421 на Коледния панаир на книгата в НДК!). „Червеношийката и еленчето“ е история за раздяла, приятелство, съпричастност, помощ в труден момент и съзряване пред неволите. С луксозна твърда корица, в която снежинките и заскрежените клончета са в сребърен акцент, и с прелестните рисунки на Салданя, книгата се превръща в чуден подарък, носещ топлина и настроение в снежните вечери.

Es war dieses Buch, das mich in der Buchhandlung wie durch einen unsichtbaren Faden zu sich gezogen hat. Dieses Buch, das schon Wärmer und Geborgenheit ausgestrahlt hat, noch bevor ich die ersten Seiten durchgeblättert habe 🤎 Eine wunderschöne Geschichte über Freundschaft und Mut, untermalt von den schönsten Illustrationen, die einen tief mit rein in den Winterwald nehmen 🦌🤎 Ein Buch, das ich definitiv noch tausend weitere Male lesen werde 🥹

Prosta, ale ciepła i urocza opowiastka o bezinteresownej pomocy i przyjaźni.

Fajna prościutka książeczka do przeczytania dziecku w okresie zimowym na dobranoc. Nic nie wniesie do życia dorosłego czytelnika. Natomiast ilustracjami można się zachwycać w każdym wieku 😇

Es ist eine schöne Weihnachtsgeschichte. Es ist mein erstes Buch, das ich auf Deutsch gelesen habe. Es ist perfekt um Kinder und mehr zu Weihnachten zu lesen und es hat schönes gemustert.

Wat heeft dit boek een heerlijke winter/kerstsfeer! Prachtige tekeningen en een lief klein verhaaltje.

Leuke origin story van Rudolph, soort van. Sfeervol en supermooi geïllustreerd.
Toch moest ik een paar keer terugbladeren omdat ik dacht dat ik een blz had overgeslagen. Dat was niet zo.

Bardzo prosta, skierowana raczej do młodszych dzieci, które dopiero stawiają swoje pierwsze kroki w czytaniu. Fabuła dosyć uboga, ale z ładnym przekazem + ślicznymi ilustracjami.

The story is gentle and sweet (3 stars for me) -- but the illustrations are simply gorgeous.
