DASHER CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS Dasher, Book 2

Young listeners enchanted by the holiday magic of DASHER will be delighted with this audiobook sequel, narrated once again by Laural Merlington. Impatient for the arrival of the night before Christmas, reindeer Dasher secretly flies off to experience the sounds and lights of holiday celebrations. But when a snowstorm delays her return, she must rely on a child’s unique gift to navigate back to the North Pole with enough time to help Santa on Christmas Eve. Merlington’s narrative style gently conveys Dasher’s childlike impatience, her mother’s wisdom, and the child’s kindness. Merlington’s rich voice enhances a wintry landscape glittering with jingle bells, angelic choral singing, and an evocative musical score. Pair this with the illustrated book to capture the spirit of seasonal anticipation. S.A.A. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
