SOLVED. Rudolph the Reindeer picture book? [s]
Thanks, I'll check out that database!Sadly so far it's mostly books based on the stop motion film.
Wolfrott, do you remember the plot of the story? Was Rudolph part of the reindeer team at the beginning of the story? Or, was the story about Rudolph becoming one of Santa's reindeer?Were there any other characters in the story, like Mrs. Claus, the elves, etc?
Good questions!Rudolph was the butt of jokes, kept getting teased. I don't recall any elves bu mrs Claus wasn't there.
This is a possibility:
It doesn't have the pictures from the cartoon and using the Look Inside feature on Amazon you can see Rudolph sleeps in a bed: http://www.amazon.com/Rudolph-Red-Nos...
I should mention Goodreads only has editions of the Robert May book published in the 2000s, but there were editions published in the 90's. Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Rudolph-Red-Nos...
This one published in 1985 matches your cover description better: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rudolph-The-R...
Darn, it's none of these :(I also remember now that Rudolph was drawn as a younger buck, unlike the older reindeer.
There was also the Rudolph sequel....https://www.librarything.com/work/194...

Take a look at the inside pics too.
Cover not a match, but inside pics show Rudolph indoors, in a toy box, etc....https://www.etsy.com/listing/16559970... the red nosed reindeer&ref=sr_gallery_23
Rudolph's bed a match....?https://img1.etsystatic.com/120/0/110...

None of those, however the art for Rudolph Shines Again looks very familiar! I'll have to find more interior art!Rudolph had a christmas stocking on the end of his bed, the pictures were pretty detailed and had backgrounds like his whole bedroom; he wrote a letter to maybe Santa, or God, asking for help to be treated better, or it was a wishlist.
Um, Ruldolph'a sleigh harness had a straight bar across his chest, not a strap, and the text in the book was decent like in that Shines Again, it wasn't 'see jane run'.
More inside pictures for that one....https://img0.etsystatic.com/052/0/939...

Just saw your edit. Damn, well, I'll keep looking.Rudolph writing a letter to Santa, or God. Maybe a religious book? I'll do some more investigation to see what I can find. There's gotta be more books about Rudolph out there. Maybe we can find a pic of that bedroom.

Darn! We were so close! But he definitely had the distinctive bar/rod across his chest!
It's frustrating because there are SO many Rudolph books! I feel bad for asking for help but it was one of my fave books as a child :(
No prob! We'll see what we can find. :)This has a blue cover and is from the '90s, but it doesn't look right. Inside it's kind of like a Where's Waldo type of thing.....

Don't think it's this either, but it does have the blue cover....http://pics.cdn.librarything.com/pics...
A different version of the original....http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...

Different illustrator. Too arty, not cartoony enough?
Blue cover, from '88....http://pictures.abebooks.com/THEWORLD...
Couldn't find inside pics. Think this is from England. What country did you read the book in?
None of those, but has similar art to my book like that Shines Again link I copied from you!Bold outlines, animated cel-style, more dull colours though! it wasn't really photorealisfic fur shading like a Scott Gustafson painting.
Also bears a striking resemblance to my book but it isnt it because Rudolph's harness is wrong. What really struck me about my book, besides him writing a letter and sleeping in a human bed, was that bar on his harness.
I read it in Australia in the late 90s :)
This is from '81 and has a pic of Rudolph writing a letter....http://pictures.abebooks.com/GARGOYLE...

Rest of it doesn't look right though. Illustrator is Diana Magnuson.
Australia, huh? I bet it's from there, or England. I'll look more for foreign versions.
Nope :( wrong again. I'll keep looking! I shan't give up :DYeah! I'll try aussie ebay, etsy is giving me the same three books repeatedly.
I'll keep looking too!This has a blue cover, but you probably would have remembered the pop-up aspect....

Thats not it, but we may be close!Aussie ebay again gave me the 70s book and the Rankin Bass ones. Shoot.
I'll ask my twin sis if she can remember anything I may have forgotten about the book.
Did your twin sister remember anything?I did another search just now, but nothing new came up.
There's another edition of the Eileen Daly Rudolph book. This has a blue cover and Rudolph seems to have a straight red strap across his chest below the bells: http://www.amazon.com/Rudolph-Red-Nos... The cover art does not seem to match the style you said was close though.
My twin doesn't remember anything extra :(That new edition you added isn't it.
I have this 1985 reprint of the 1976 edition at home:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
My apologies if it's already been considered, I didn't follow all the links in the posts! It does have a blue cover, but no beds or letter writing. This one is Barbara Shook Hazen and Richard Scarry as the illustrator.
Its already been considered and isn't it
Just bumping up. I hope we manage to find this for you.
Thanks, Rainbowheart :)

Boosting this to the top for Xmas....
Thanks! I've been unwell hence my absence from GR :( I still haven't found this book, but I won't give up.
https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...Photos of an edition. Looks like Rudolph at a desk on one image.
Are you sure it was Rudolph and not a knock-off? I found Noni The Christmas Reindeer. Lots of pics available online. Doesn't really seem to match, even though one of the covers is blue with a distinctive harness. Thought I'd bump this to the top anyhow.
Sorry, that's not it; I found pics of the cover & interior art, my book was cartoony & well-drawn.https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/25663...
Did you check the above (Dec 21, 2016 02:15AM)
Yeah I did, its not it :(
Bit late for Xmas, but still bumping up....
Thanks, I’m still looking for this book!
Has the original 1939 Montgomery Ward edition been ruled out yet? That's the version I have at home, and there are definitely images of Rudolph sleeping in a bed, as seen here. I seem to remember the other reindeer sleeping in beds too, as Rudolph looks in the window when he flies by pulling Santa's sleigh. I don't remember if there's a picture of Rudolph writing a letter, but I can check when I get home in about an hour or so.
Sorry for double posting, but I did a little more searching and found that Rudolph does indeed write a letter in the original Montgomery Ward edition! Here's a (tiny...) picture I found: Click

It was certainly NOT the stop motion cartoon Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer!
It had good art, and Rudolph (not sure about the other deer) was more anthropomorphic than usual, he slept in a human bed, wrote a letter, etc. The cover was blue, featured him pulling Santa's sleigh, had a distinctive harness from the other deer.
