What stories do they have about the mysterious St. Nick who lives there? Children will love hearing, and reading, about the discoveries of Tuktu and Aklak, two Eskimo children who raise reindeer in the Northlands and live near the mysterious Kringle Valley. * * * * Tuktu is curious why every year eight reindeer from the many herds disappear, and then return in the spring. Her father says the owner of those whose reindeer is blessed because those reindeer always become the best in the herd. * * * * Why is this? What is so special about Kringle Valley? And why doesn’t anyone ever go there? * * * * “The Christmas Reindeer” is part of the rich heritage of children’s books left to us by Thornton W. Burgess.
