Storytime Saturday: Dasher

It’s not easy to write a fresh take on a children’s Christmas story but this week’s story is a new idea that sounds like an old classic. This book (affiliate link) delves into the backstory of one of Santa’s reindeer we haven’t heard much about – Dasher. This one would be great for 6-8 year olds and has enough substance to form the base of a language arts lesson.

Enjoy “Dasher” by Matt Tavares, read by Mrs. Bacchus.

Follow-up activity: Choose one of Santa’s other reindeer (Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, or Blitzen) and tell their story.
