There is something so magical about reindeer. Kids love them. I love them. They are just an animal that makes you happy and makes you want to believe in anything and everything. I loved teaching all about reindeer around Christmas and one thing I always made sure to do was to incorporate reindeer books throughout the month of December. Obviously, kids are interested and so excited to learn. Here are our 12 favorite reindeer books.
