It’s the most wonderful time of the year! But not for one grumpy reindeer. He huffs and puffs and scares all the other reindeer off. But when Santa asks for his help, grumpy reindeer soon realizes that sometimes being on your own isn’t fun after all… With the most festive illustrations, adults and children will love to read aloud and follow the story of this reindeer to see if his frown turns upside down!

From the bestselling book, The Happy Pumpkin, comes an enchanting Christmas book for kids about making room for others and what it means to be good-hearted. Little ones will begin to understand that while everyone should have a shoulder to lean on, first we need to show kindness in order to get it back.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
