You Need to Read: Rudolph

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is one of our favorite Christmas icons. He was always judged for his shiny nose and then had the chance to prove himself when he leads Santa's sleigh through a foggy night. Here are some books that I think Rudolph would love to read!

12 Hacks to Beat Bullying
By Honor Head
New York: Enslow Publishing, 2023. Informational. 32 pages.

This is a short but effective book about what to do if you are being bullied. The hacks help with things like frenemies, cyber bullying, and peer pressure. Rudolph could definitely take a few of these tips to combat the bullying from all the other reindeer.

Cloud Chaser
Written by Anne-Fleur Drillon
Illustrated by Eric Purbaret
Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, Inc, 2018. Picture Book.

Emery has always dreamed of flying and one day, when she meets the mysterious man who moved in next door, she finally gets her chance. The two work together to build a flying machine. As a frequent flyer, Rudolph would probably be tickled to hear how two people worked so hard to fly.

Tiny Reindeer
By Chris Naylor-Ballesteros
Toronto: Tundra Books, 2021. Picture Book.

This tiny reindeer is more important than he appears. I'm sure Rudolph has felt that he didn't belong once or twice. In this picture book, Rudolph would relate to the feeling of proving himself in a very similar experience to his. 

By April Pulley Sayre
New York: Beach Lane Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, 2020. Informational.

This is a beautiful and photographic picture book about how fog is formed and how it affects the world. The poetic words on each page romantacize the different aspects of this type of weather. I think Rudolph would be fascinated to learn about the weather that gave him his big break.
