Ford![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Big Bunny!Ĭontrolled, repetitive text invites children to read short sentences directing them to find “a foot…a hand…a tail,” and so on. ![]() These reindeer games are a bit tired but, given the series’ popularity, should have a large, ready-made audience.

Having already failed to nab a Halloween witch, the Easter Bunny, a turkey, a leprechaun, the Tooth Fairy, and over a dozen other iconic trophies in previous episodes of this bestselling series, one would think the racially diverse gaggle of children in Elkerton’s moonlit, wintry scenes would be flagging…but no, here they lay out snares ranging from a loop of garland to an igloo baited with reindeer moss to an enticing candy cane maze, all in hopes of snagging one of Santa’s reindeer while he’s busy delivering presents. ![]() ![]() ![]() (This was what she got from her phone call in June with the production company) The one that had expressed interest in the Covenant Series back in March.
