My wife, 5-year-old daughter, and I ran across this special last year. Seeing Drew Barrymore's name gave me some pause, as she had recently flashed David Letterman while giving him a birthday dance, so I wondered if this special was actually going to be suitable for family viewing, and not some subversive story with a Christmas theme.
Well, I definitely over-thought this one: "Olive" was absolutely wonderful, and unexpectedly charming a very rare commodity these days. Her voice work was heartfelt, and a truly eclectic list of other voices, ranging from Joe Pantoliano to co-producer Michael Stipe whose experience in cartoons includes his hilarious appearance on the funniest "Space Ghost" episode ever- 17, "Hungry" keeps this story light and humorous.
The animation style was appropriate to the story and, apparently, to the source material I have not yet seen the book. I recommend it! Details Edit. Release date December 17, United States. United States. Official site. Dallas, Texas, USA. Technical specs Edit.
Runtime 45min. Second, her hearing "All of the other reindeer", yet really hearing "Olive, the other reindeer" makes the story so much fun to read. We both cracked up when I read that part. How Santa fixes the whole 'dogs can't fly' thing is just awesome. Everyone's seen illustrations of reindeer flying, it's in all of our brains, but who has ever seen the reindeer flying through t 2.
Everyone's seen illustrations of reindeer flying, it's in all of our brains, but who has ever seen the reindeer flying through the night with a little doggie attached to a darn string hanging underneath them? Too cute! I'm pretty sure I liked the first time Olive saved the day after the crash but after that the story goes downhill - for me.
This was not the case for Julia however. All of a sudden gumdrops are falling from the sleigh yet there is no reason for this for the next few pages. I was very confused to say the least.
The author needed a way for a dog to be able to help with a dogs sense but this was reaching I can get with the third save a bit easier but I still feel it could have been done better. The story ends with Santa needing Olive to guide the sleigh through some fog and with her nose smelling Mrs.
Claus' cookies she's very able. She also receives a present of reindeer antlers which was very cute. I have to admit though, that middle part, with the two saves, really got to me and it took a lot away from the book. I can't help but feel that with a little extra thought those parts could have been a lot better. Julia liked those parts, I asked her because I needed to know, but at 5 years old I don't expect her attention to detail to be what mine is.
View 1 comment. This is such a cute little book. It would make the perfect book to read, on Christmas eve while putting the little ones to bed. Most kids' books are about the same length or a little longer than the TV specials or movies based upon them. That is not the case here, where "Olive, the other reindeer" a misheard pun on "All of the other reindeer," drawn as a stylized version of author J.
Otto Seibold's Jack Russell terrier , heads to the North Pole to help Santa and hopefully join in the other reindeers' "reindeer games. Still, it's a fine version to read out loud to a small child, even without Drew Barrymore's beguiling voice. Santa knew a lot about dogs, for instance, they can't fly. But as it was time to go, he decided to give Olive a chance.

I don't have it handy, and will need to re-read before commenting further lest I write a spoiler! My son chose this book at a Scholastic Book Fair at school, in first grade, and loved the humor and illustrations. He gives it 5 stars still, when consulted today at age 18! Purely based on memory, as it has been packed away for a few years. Dec 03, Dewey rated it it was amazing Shelves: holidays.
Where has this book been all my life? Holy adorable, man Olive hears a Christmas song on the radio and realizes that she must have been mistaken thinking she was a dog, otherwise why would people be singing about "Olive, the other reindeer?
The beginning few pages are a little wordy for a younger group of kids, but the pace picks up quickly, and I think storytime groups would LOVE this book.

This book is definitely not a strong 4 star rating and I do not feel like wondering if it is a 3. I remember as a kid I saw countless times every year the wonderful Olive, the Other Reindeer that had Drew Barrymore and since I never read books as a child I didn't know this tv special was adapted from a book.
I have to admit while the animation for the special may look weird, the plot was times better than t This book is definitely not a strong 4 star rating and I do not feel like wondering if it is a 3.
I have to admit while the animation for the special may look weird, the plot was times better than this book. In the animated movie we get to see some action as to how Olive got to meet Santa and other evil characters that try to ruin Christmas and Olive's life. In this book there is actually zero drama. They play it so many times that Olive figures she must be a reindeer and not a dog and heads over to help Santa Claus.
She arrives and Santa is about to take off and just for the hell of it he includes Olive with the other reindeers and fly off as Santa is performing his yearly duty. If I haven't seen the television special that I actually like and adore, this book would have been cute and sweet but I felt that it essentially lacked drama and details and doesn't really attract the reader into the story.
Probably they had that issue in the book and figured if they made an animated feature out of it they could go into more details and pretty much make an entirely different story from the children's book.
If you or your child falls into the same predicament as me then please do not read this book at all cost. For reading my review I feel like the only way to make justified I have included the television link down below and I suggest watching it if you want a quick and simple christmas movie with talking animals. Olive, The Other Reindeer Nov 21, Gretchen rated it it was ok Shelves: christmas , pre-k-elem.
Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with this book as I'd hoped to be, or as other readers seem to be. I found the illustrations to be a bit strange and not soft and cozy, which is how I think of Christmas. It also doesn't have a ton of logic I can see kids questioning , in that there is mention at dogs can't fly, and a "solution," yet no mention of the fact that reindeer usually can't fly either.
I think the cutest part of the book is the title and the "mis-heard lyrics" behind it. Feb 24, Jeff Grosser rated it it was amazing. A Goodreads friend recommended this book to me and I was finally about to get a copy of it from my local library. I can't thank her enough! It was such a sweet book! It's only February, but Olive has already put me in the Christmas spirit! Dec 14, Mary Drew rated it really liked it Recommends it for: 2 to 5 year olds.
Recommended to Mary Drew by: illustrations caught my eye. Olive, the Other Reindeer. San Francisco: Chronicle Books. Even though she is only a dog, Olive really does save the day, using the special talents only dogs have. The colorful, blocky illustrations are what caught my eye when choosing this book.
The story is bright enough to be an antidote to the usual 11 Walsh, V. Dec 21, Candice rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Sophie - when she is older. Shelves: picture-books. I read this as a Tumblebook.
