Dasher Can’t Wait for Christmas
Book Review
I like the North Star and I have seen it!
Megan’s views:
I like the picture of Dasher, she looks cute – she is definitely a girl. I’m not sure if Charlie is a boy or a girl.
I’m not sure I should be reading this as it’s not Christmas yet, but the story is good and makes me feel excited about it.
Now, I can’t wait for Christmas – like Dasher.
But I have to say, I don’t think that Dasher have crept out without telling her mum because she would be worried, so I’m not sure that it is a good example to set. And I don’t think Dasher would have gone into the workshop as animals are not allowed indoors.
I like the North Star and I have seen it!
Mum’s views:
It is a lovely story – but Megan has a strong sense of right and wrong so she was concerned that Dasher crept out at night away from her family and then got lost! She loved the pictures, beautiful illustrations and kind of had a sense of Christmas magic. We both talked about Charlie helping Dasher and that was kind, and that good thought was paid back when Santa brought back the compass with the special note.
We both enjoyed reading this book. It brought up lots of conversation starters about what Megan likes about Christmas, especially the build-up and all of the special family activities we looking forward to enjoying together.
About the Book
In Dasher’s excitement for the approaching Christmas season, she takes a quick flight in search of festive cheer – she just couldn’t wait. But when Dasher gets lost and is unable to use the North Star as a guide home, she meets a young child whose kindness and a gift helps her find her way back to the North Pole just in time for Christmas Eve.
Written and illustrated by Matt Tavares.
