School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-When the farmer forgets where he hid the Christmas presents for his grandchildren, the creative bovine duo steps in to save the day. They transform themselves into Santa and Mrs. Claus and load up a wheelbarrow drawn by Rudolph the Red-Nosed Rooster. Eight chickens with plastic forks tied to their heads follow and hilarity ensues in this delightful spoof of Clement C. Moore's classic poem by Denys Cazet. This unabridged reading is accompanied by festive music and some sound effects that enhance the story. Track 1 includes page-turning signals, while track 2 is read uninterrupted. Narrator Barbara Caruso is superb, and fans of Minnie and Moo will be delighted by this format. School and public libraries will find this a popular addition to their book-and-tape collections.-Shauna Yusko, St. Monica School, Mercer Island, WA (c) Copyright 2010.
