You too! Happy week!!!
Comment from Iza Deleanu
So far this is the best chapter I read from your interesting encyclopedia. I for once I learned lots of stuff I didn't know about the reindeer. I do hope you published this book, it will be a very useful resource in school for different biology and science projects.

I've had a few people say that, I was going to self-publish, but I will approach a few agents and see what response, if any, I get first. Your review is so encouraging, Iza, and I thank you so much for it, the six stars are a delightful bonus! Thank you. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
Comment from Bobby Cunningham
Sandra, this is an incredible chapter in your book, filled with such fascinating details about reindeer. As you say, all readers from 9 to 109 will enjoy every chapter. Your grandson must be so proud. Starting each chapter with a poem is lovely and your photos add so much flavor to your descriptions of each animal.

Comment from Susan Larson
Sandra, I learned more than I could imagine there was to know about reindeer, except...is this the same breed/species/whatever that eats our liriope and hosta here in the south? DO they have a different name/

I think you have a male deer eating your hostas, they are like sweets to them and will eat them all day long if they could. Male deer have antlers similar to the reindeer. Another name for reindeer is caribou, but they live in the north of America. Reindeer go for more for lichen, it's actually called 'reindeer lichen' I haven't seen anywhere that says they eat hostas. I hope that helps. Little monkeys, aren't they. We used to have deer jump our fence and eat all my roses, only the flower. They look so cute, but they are no annoying! LOL.
Thank you for reading this one, Susan, I'm delighted you enjoyed it. :)) Sandra xxx
Comment from write hand blue
Hi Sandra, I didn't guess this one. I've seen several reindeer close up in Norway. A local had one with a lead round it's neck just like a dog. It turned and licked him while I watched, thoroughly tame we were able to stroke it while it chewed it's cud like a cow. Another one to add to your book. Keep safe. ~Mel~ xx

They are quite domesticated, Mel, so I'm not surprised you could stroke it. They are really cute, aren't they?
Thank you for your lovely review, and for sharing your lovely story, my friend. You keep safe, too! :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
What a wonderful format you have for this book. The displays and captions are so well placed. The mixture of poetry, information, art and photos (well placed) are creating an eloquent book.
Your information about how high they can jump and there ability to see ultra violet light, gives us a feeling of why Santa chose them to pull his sleigh. Great job.
Blessings

Comment from Ulla
Aw, Sandra, this is so interesting and what is more, I have seen so many reindeer in my time. Remember I often flew into the Artic during my 20 years with Scandinavian Airlines. I also learned a lot about them I never knew through your lovely story.
What I do know, though, is that Santa Claus, Yuleman in Danish, comes flying from Greenland with his twelve reindeer, Rudolf, being one of them, in the lead, in fact, with his red nose. All this nonsense that he comes from Lapland is just not true. No, we Danes know better. So there! LOL.
I love your wonderful and informative stories. A big hug. Ulla:)))

LOL!! I believe you, Ulla, lol! I'll make sure to remember that and let everyone know. LOL. Perhaps they stop off at Lapland for a carrot?? Thank you so much for your fun review, Ulla, and the lovely six stars, that is so nice of you, my friend. (Is that why all my letters never got to Santa? I sent them to the wrong address???? That's not nice, they could have forwarded them on! :( Hmm. Big hugs,my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
-
Oh, that's pretty naughty if they didn't forwarded your lettters. About the carrots? Who the heck can grow carrots in the Artic in December? All good fun.
No Sandra, really, your articles are wonderful and I learn a lot. Ulla xxxx
-
Thanks, Ulla. Graham said Santa can do anything, even grow carrots in the Actic in December!!! lol!!
-
Hahahaha, then it must be true!!! LOL xxx
Comment from damommy
Amazing animals. So there was some truth to Rudolph after all. Maybe the author saw one soaring over a 9 foot fence and gave him the idea of flying. I didn't know about the red nose, either. After a day, babies can run faster than an Olympic runner!

They really are amazing, Yvonne, I was totally gobsmacked at what I learnt about them. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one, it was my favourite so far. Some of these animals make us humans look like infants. :)) Thank you so very much for the six stars, my friend, I really appreciate them, and that you thought it was worth it. Thank you!! Big hugs, Sandra xx
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This is a great chapter in your a-z book, Sandra. I believe it is the best so far. Your facts are well-presented in an interesting way. Not only is it informative, but the images add great interest, too. I did not know about how antlers were eaten by other animals--wow--those animals must have sharp teeth. The info on how their noses warm the air was fascinating.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you so very much for this really lovely review, Jan. It is so encouraging as I want to see if I can get it into schools. I'm already sending out enquiries. You have put a big smile on my face, my friend, thank you! :)) Sandra xxxx
Jan, I've been wanting to ask you, is Bill alright? I'm worried that the virus might have caught him, it's not like him being off so long. I hope you don't mind me asking, I do worry about friends that go missing. xxx
Comment from nancy_e_davis
That is a lot of information on the Reindeer. I'm sure the children will be very interested in this one because of Rudolf and Santa's Reindeer. They are famous among the children. LOL. Well done, Sandra. A very detailed account of what the reindeer is all about. Nancy:)

The reindeer was probably my most favourite to research, I learnt so much and still couldn't put it all in. Thank you so much, Nancy, for another of your lovely review. Sending you a hug, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
