"Enjoyable story that had me laughing out loud several times. I may be
older than the intended audiences, but I'm sure the little ones in my life
will enjoy this creative take on the origins of flying reindeer, I know
I certainly did. I must still be a kid at heart. The illustrations are
well crafted and helped me visualise Ronaldo and the other
reindeer around him." - James Tinnie
