This beautifully illustrated picture books spins a good yarn about one of Santa's reindeer. It's a bold imagining that's warm and rhythmic in the telling, and stresses family love, bravery, helpfulness, and generosity. Dasher has the look of a classic even though the story is fresh as new-fallen snow.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
