Description

Return to the beloved Christmas story of Dasher—now with an exclusive poster and ornaments featuring art from the animated special!

Dasher is an adventurous young reindeer with a wish in her heart. She spends her days with her family under the hot sun in a travelling circus, but she longs for a different life—one where there is snow beneath her hooves and the North Star above her head. One day, when the opportunity arises, Dasher seizes her destiny and takes off in pursuit of the life she wants to live. It’s not long before she meets a nice man in a red suit with a horse-drawn sleigh—a man named Santa. And soon, with the help of a powerful Christmas wish, nothing will be the same.

In this new edition, readers can discover a poster on the back of the jacket and ornaments to punch out and hang featuring art and characters from the animated special.
