KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Sweet story of forgotten zoo animals who embark on an adventure with a mysterious reindeer to search for the true meaning of Christmas. Along the way they work together and save themselves and the other animals from being sold. Very loveable characters, especially the baby skunk and the reindeer. The skunk's personality is well developed. The reindeer is a bit mysterious. He appears out of nowhere and then disappears. But, t fits with the story. There is a scene in here when a young woman asks her mother, "Are you sure he was the only one?" She is boarding a train to look for her father, who doesn't know about her. This question implies that she is asking her mother if she is sure that she only slept with one man at the time of her daughter's conception. This is not appropriate in a story geared for young children.
