Babe & Eli Save Christmas

Bol

A companion book to the hit Christmas song Babe & Eli Save Christmas.Babe and Eli are two young reindeer who dream of someday pulling Santa's sleigh. Every evening from the stables, they watch the seasoned reindeer team train-Dasher, Dancer, Comet, Blitzen, even Rudolph, who now carries a bit of gray in his muzzle. Newcomers are rarely added to Santa's legendary lineup, but that doesn't stop the two fawns from imagining their names called on Christmas Eve.One day, Eli notices a small tear in Santa's bag of magical flying corn-the enchanted treat Santa gives his reindeer before each flight. A few kernels have spilled onto the floor, and the boys suddenly see an opportunity. Before dawn the next morning, they sneak the lost magic corn up to the hayloft, where the soft straw will cushion their clumsy attempts at flight. Their first effort ends in a spectacular tumble, but Babe pops up with a grin, eager to try again. Determined and enthusiastic, the two practice for weeks, learning the basics of pitch, roll, and lift.While they believe they're training in secret, Santa is quietly watching. He sees the passion in their hearts and the promise in their small, earnest efforts. Though still too young and too small in the eyes of the official team, the boys possess something invaluable-courage, persistence, and the joy of trying.
