ABOUT
Rasmoose the Christmas Moose
Santa and his elves return home to the North Pole after delivering gifts. They discover a lost young moose in an empty sack on their sleigh. What is he doing there?
The moose jumps out of the sack and flees in fright into Santa’s barn. Everyone rushes after him.
Amber finds him and learns that he’s called Rasmoose, and that he’s a moose, not a reindeer. He’s obviously scared and lonely.
As everyone gathers around Rasmoose, Amber hugs him. He tearfully explains that he is terrified after being separated from his parents in a storm. He doesn’t know where he is, and doesn’t even know where he’s from.
Santa explains that he’s at the North Pole and welcomes Rasmoose to his new family and friends.
Learn how Rasmoose grows up to become the hero who saves Christmas - and it’s not by pulling the sleigh! Rasmoose has a childish joy of growing up with playful elves, He helps Santa overcome winter’s challenges, and is rewarded in an unexpected way.
This is not just a holiday story. The book teaches how kindness and initiative with new friends bring fun and self-growth.
And so the adventures begin …
