Tiny children will love it! Schoolies will love it still.
20 Oct 2001
OH, I hate this video. Hate it with a passion. I'd like to take every copy in existence and pound them to dust. If there's one thing I hate more it's the book by Eric Hill of the same title (with the same story.) Only problem is my daughter would never speak to me again.
My daughter was given this video over five years ago. Every December it gets dragged off the shelf and played - and played, and played, and played. Then most nights she wants me to read her the book.
This simple tale of Spot helping two reindeer to find Santa's lost sleigh (lost during the annual pre-Christmas test drive) and his voyage to Santa's workshop has it all for the little ones - dramatic tension, colour, excitement, in jokes (I still laugh over my daughter surrounded by an acre of torn wrapping paper on Xmas morning saying "Daddy, the presents got all excited") and to top it all off a little bit of the jolly old man in red.
Of all the Spot videos this is the one that has stayed her favourite, indeed at eight last December she watched it and enjoyed it still.
A wonderful, magic tale for small children. Believe me, buy it for your pre-schooler and you will end up knowing every word.

good Christmas video for preschoolers
23 Dec 1999
The story: Spot helps two reindeer who have lost Santa's sleigh while taking it for a test drive. With his friends' assistance, Spot finds the sleigh and is rewarded with a ride to Santa's workshop. My (almost) 2 year old loves it. It's lively without being hyperactive, and geared for little ones without being overly grating on adult nerves.

Spot's Magical Christmas Storybook
25 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
ISBN 0140563741 - Before you read this review, I suggest you figure out what it is you're interested in - the video or the book - and if it's the video, skip this review. I get the feeling that the quality of the two are not comparable. I only recently discovered that Spot was a character in a series of books and finding a Christmas book in that series is a bit like finding a Christmas album by almost any artist - it's just something everyone's got to do and most aren't spectacular. This one was a little disappointing to me.
Spot meets two reindeer who have managed to lose Santa's sleigh, putting Christmas in jeopardy for everyone. The sleigh must be found in time, so he decides to help, enlisting friends along the way. When the sleigh is located, Spot is given a very special ride as a reward.
The book reads a little as if Spot suffers from ADD - he's into decorating, then getting wood for the fire, then looking for the sleigh, followed by sledding... it's actually somewhat difficult to follow and just doesn't flow. Spot fans will enjoy Eric Hill's Christmas story and the illustrations are typical Spot (while the video seems to be more Disney-esque). There are plenty of better Christmas books out there, so unless you're shopping specifically for a fan of Spot, keep looking.
