Mrs. Livermore's favorite Christmas book is The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett.
This book is one of my favorite books to read to my students. It is about Teeka, who is put in charge of getting Santa's reindeer ready for Christmas night. Teeka has a hard time getting the reindeer to listen and do what she says and they end up in a tangle. Will Teeka have the reindeer ready to guide Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve?
