About this ebook
Fans of the greatest reindeer of all will have a double helping of Christmas fun with this collection, which includes the title story plus "Rudolph Shines Again."
Near and dear to so many hearts, this is the story, the original story, of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, written by Robert L. May in 1939. Rudolph, loveable and generous, humble and good, embodies the spirit of Christmas, and reminds us of the magical possibilities that exist within us all. In the companion story, "Rudolph Shines Again," Rudolph loses his light and is certain he is of no use to Santa now; he decides to go far away, where no one knows how bright his nose used to be. But on his journey, something magical happens. As enchanting as the original story, Robert L. May's uplifting sequel to his classic tale Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a joyous celebration of the spirit of Christmas.
Also included in the audio is a selection of holiday songs for kids to help you ring in the season: "Jingle Bells," "Up on the Housetop," "Deck the Halls," "Over the River and through the Woods," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "O, Christmas Tree."
Robert L. May
Robert L. May created Rudolph in 1939, when his company, the Montgomery Ward department stores, asked him to write a Christmas story that they could give away to customers. Drawing on the tale of The Ugly Duckling, Mr. May penned the story of a sweet reindeer shunned because of his glowing red nose. Little did he know his creation was destined to become a Christmas classic. Years later, cartoons, movies, and the song we all know and love have secured Rudolph’s place in Christmas history.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Robert L. May
Rudolph
The Red-Nosed Reindeer
By Robert L. May
’Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the hills
The reindeer were playing, enjoying their spills.
While every so often they’d stop to call names
At one little deer not allowed in their games
"Ha, ha! Look at Rudolph! His nose is a sight!
It’s red as a beet! Twice as big! Twice as bright!"
While Rudolph just cried. What else could he do?
He knew that the things they were saying were true!
Where most reindeer’s noses are brownish and tiny,
Poor Rudolph’s was red, very large, and quite shiny.
In daylight it sparkled. (The picture shows that!)
At nighttime it glowed, like the eyes of a cat.
Although he was lonesome, he always was good –
Obeying his parents, as good reindeer should!
That’s why, on this day, Rudolph almost
