Randy, the Badly Drawn Reindeer!

Appearance Date: 10/29/2022

The third book in the Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse series, in which Randy celebrates Christmas and finds out what all the reindeer fuss is about.

It’s Christmas, and Randy is decked out in his holiday best. He can’t wait to see the pretty lights on all the trees and eat a candy cane or two…but the most exciting part of Christmas has to be Santa and his reindeer. Can a beautiful horse be a reindeer? It’ll take snow, carrots, and maybe even a flying leap to see if Randy is cut out for these reindeer games!
