About this title

Review:

'Roger the Reindeer is a fantastically tactful story about the importance of literacy. Parents will be thrilled to bits with the positive outcomes of this story. The book will implicitly make children aware of the necessity of being able to read and write in everyday life. Roger is a lovable and independent character who gets in to quite a muddle because of his inability to read and write properly. A lot of children have this same problem and will be able to relate well with a story as such. Therefore this story is the perfect way to get them to concentrate and give them incentive to do well in school.' --Asha Mistry, Librarian

'The stories aren't just enchanting because of their charming characters, the also helps teach children learn to work collaboratively.' --What Mummy Thinks Blog

'Not only will this collection of adorable stories take you on a trip down memory lane, but it will also make you fall in love again with your old toys, which once were a wonderful source of happiness.' --Teodora Leon, NetGalley
