There Was a Young Reindeer Who Swallowed a Present

A paperback fiction picture book for ages 3+ published by Macmillan Children's Books UK.

26 October 2023

Everyone's heard about the old lady who swallowed a fly, but now it’s time to meet a little reindeer who, on the most important night of the year (Christmas Eve!), swallows a present. A funny, cumulative story children will love.

This book follows the first book THERE WAS A YOUNG ZOMBIE WHO SWALLOWED A WORM. The third and final book will be released in February 2024 for Easter. The books are also released in the USA.

This looks like a must have for Christmas!
