OLIVE, THE OTHER REINDEER - Seibold & Walsh - NEW HARDCOVER - Christmas Humor

Description: CONDITION; NEW 1997 Chronicle Books hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket, first edition, 8th printing. Color illustrations generated via computer, I assume, by Seibold & Walsh. Decorated end pages. CONTENT: You won't understand the premise of this book if you've never sung "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," so let's start there. Instead of the lyric, ``All of the other reindeer,'' Olive the pup hears something else on the radio: ``Olive, the other reindeer.'' She concludes that she is to be Santa's canine helper, so heads up to the North Pole, to join the Christmas Eve flight. Dangling from a ribbon tied to Comet's reins, Olive looks more like a stray ornament than a reindeer, but her doggy talents of chewing, sniffing, and fetching rescue Father Christmas from multiple mishaps. The story is as slight as they come, but the art sings a song all its own. Seibold's gregarious cartoons create an avocado-and-tomato colored cartoon Christmas in which little details shine: In a scene of flutes falling out of the sky and into a snow bank, a cutaway shows a surprised bunny awaking to find its burrow pierced by a silver shaft. Children will like the sophisticated art. (The sight of a dog dangling beneath Santa's sleigh will reduce readers to charmed giggles.)
