Book review - Randolph the Christmas Moose: A Yuletide Fable of Empowerment by Gerry Gibson (Author), Matt Taylor (Illustrator) plus $25 Amazon/Paypal Giveaway!

Randolph the Moose lives with his mother in the Great White North. After a chance encounter with the reindeer from Santa Claus' sleigh-pulling team, Randolph finds new joy in trail running as he trains to join the reindeer in Santa's flight school. But when the head elf places him at the workshop loading dock instead (due to his tremendous bulk), Randolph has to use his brains and work ethic to earn respect at his new job... and even save Christmas. 

 

Imagine Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, except...  

- Randolph has a healthy self-image 

- Randolph has a more positive outlet for his feelings 

- Randolph runs, but not away from his problems 

- Randolph is pro-active, refusing to let Santa's workshop define him as a moose

Our book review

Meet Randolph the Moose and how he was determined to go and work for Santa after meeting some Reindeer playing a game in the woods. Randolph was upset that they would not let him join in as he was not a Reindeer. When he discussed it with his Mum she give the best advice anyone Mum could give that you are good enough now and do not change the way you are.

Following his Mum’s advice Randolph heads to the North Pole to help Santa. Once in the grotto, Randolph found his ideas were not listened to and pinched by other workers but by staying true to his values of speaking calmly and explaining his ideas, he is shocked to find people listen and he soon gains respect and promoted.

The novel and expertly drawn illustrations express exactly how Randolph is feeling and enhances the story line as it means that by looking at the pictures it opens a route for discussion. The message from the story is by staying true to yourself and being patient giving full explanations you will gain full respect and make your way in the world and achieve your goals.

Even though this book is aimed at young readers it gave me a timely reminder even after working for 33 years in the same department if you stay true to your values, keep calm and explain yourself openly and honestly people will be more willing to accept you for who you are.

The real message of the book is do not try to be anything you are not as you will fall short and if you stay true to who you are you will be admired, respected and achieve your dreams.  

A wonderful book for children to enjoy and be inspired by.
