It is Christmas Eve at Buttercup Cottage and Little Red and her friends are getting ready for their trip to Christmas Tree Wood, where they will deliver sugary cinnamon sticks to the mouse family and delicious treacle shortbread to the robins. But as they approach the Wood, they find that Little Red’s friend Father Christmas has a big problem: instead of eight reindeer, he has only seven! Thanks to Little Red’s sack of smiles, Roany the Pony is filling in for Ronald the reindeer, Little Red is helping Father Christmas make up for lost time delivering gifts, and Little Blue is making Buttercup Cottage ready for his friends when they return. It’s Christmaspuddingtastic!

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1–Little Red returns, along with her friends Little Blue, Roany the Pony, and Gino the Dog. Their expedition to Christmas Tree Wood is interrupted when they encounter Santa Claus with a sick reindeer. Little Red saves the day by sprinkling magic dust on Roany so that he can fly and help to pull the sleigh. Young children may be drawn to the cutesy illustrations, but the treacly story is far from compelling. The overly long narrative is sprinkled with such awkward neologisms as "yippeedoodledan" and "fantabuloso." This is only for the most avid Anglophiles or hard-core fans of the Duchess of York.–V. W.
