The magic of Christmas is found on every page of this imaginative holiday picture book, with doors that open into the next page, peek-through holes, and even a card to open and read! A fun Christmas experience for children to treasure.
 
Christmas is coming but Mia has no time to send the card she made to Grandpa, who lives far away. But when she stumbles across a magical mailbox, Mia finds herself inside the Reindeer Express and is whisked away on an exciting voyage over many exotic lands, reaching Grandpa just in time. Young readers will love opening doors that lead into the next page, peeking through holes into the next scene, and opening the card that Mia made for Grandpa. It's an interactive holiday story that will be especially appreciated by families that can't all be together for Christmas.

★ "Die-cut pages and lift-the-flap doors—some pleasingly challenging to find—creatively provide a sense of magic throughout. The book's delightful, quiltlike design and geometric shapes allow readers' eyes to move easily across the pages to spot hidden doors and windows."—Kirkus, starred review 

"A stunner. . . . uplifting."—Publishers Weekly

"Thoughtful die-cuts and flaps enhance the jewel-toned illustrations, by turns fantas­tical and homey."—The Horn Book

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Cutest Christmas Book!

    We had checked this book out from the library around Christmastime to read to my toddler, and it is the ONLY book she wanted to read. We read it over and over and over. So we HAD to buy it! The little cut-outs and lift-the-flaps are so unique, and the illustrations are cute and well-done. It's a book that I don't mind reading over and over, and it has a great message as well! Get the hardcover version!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Take a Ride On the Reindeer Express...You Won’t Be Disappointed!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    As much as I love Christmastime, it can be challenging being away from my extended family. Last Stop on the Reindeer Express written by Maudie Powell-Tuck and illustrated by Karl James Mountford (Doubleday Book for Young Readers, 2017) is the perfect book to share with children who are missing loved ones during the holiday season.

    Mia is struggling with the fact that her grandfather will not be around for Christmas. She makes him a card but is heartbroken to learn that it won’t reach him before the holiday…that is until Mia discovers a magical mailbox which transports her on a truly fantastical journey! This delightful story is paired with beautifully imaginative illustrations! Nearly every page has a door to open or a cut-out to peek through. Every time we read the book my son is totally engaged and cannot wait to see what is behind each door! We look forward to accompanying Mia on her voyage for years to come!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas story for those spending it apart from family.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I purchased this book to read to my 2.5 & 4.5yr old boys before Christmas. They have LOVED the beautiful illustrations, pages with doors that open, and overall magic of the storyline, and have begged to read it over and over. The story follows a little girl named Mila who writes a Christmas letter to her Grandpa who lives far away. She wants to mail it to him for Christmas, but there isn't enough time. When she steps through a magical door that leads to the Reindeer Express at market while out shopping with her mother, she is thrilled to learn she is not the only child who doesn't get to spend Christmas with her whole family. She takes a ride on a magical reindeer to deliver her letter to her grandfather who lives across the world, and when she returns home, it's as if no time has passed at all. Such a heartwarming story for anyone who doesn't get to spend Christmas together with loved ones.

    My daughter and I LOVE the artwork and cutouts of Moonlight Zoo (and of course the story) so I was super happy to find this to get for her for Christmas as well. It didn't disappoint. I hope the author releases more similar to this style!

    This book is a bit of magic! The pages have interesting flaps and cut outs and it is so beautifully illustrated. Definitely add this to your Christmas book collection! It will be an instant favorite! The story is about a girl who misses her grandfather and won’t be able to spend Christmas with him, she writes a letter and magically ends up flying the letter to him on a reindeer. They share some special time and she’s back home before her mom even knows she’s gone. Such a sweet story for anyone who will be spending the holidays away from their loved ones.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book to add to our holiday collection
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Beautiful illustrations. The storyline is of a young girl who misses her grandfather and stumbles upon a magical reindeer who takes her to him. The girl’s mother is portrayed as a single mother, and grandpa lives alone. It is presumed that the girl doesn’t have any siblings. It is nice to see an only child with a single mother portrayed in a holiday book. The peek-through pages are cute, but the pages are very thin and my 4-year old tends to turn them a little rough. I am worried it won’t hold up for the long haul. I wish the pages were printed on a slightly thicker paper stock or coated to be more durable.

    Really beautifully done book with gorgeous illustrations and cut outs very creative! Some pages have doors or windows so need to be gentle (our 2 yo didn’t have trouble). The story is so lovely and certainly timely given so many families are separated by pandemic travel restrictions. Highly recommend
