This is a story that happened long ago in a land called Christmas. This is a story about a little white moose that wanted to help Santa deliver toys to all the boys and all the girls. The moose grew big and strong and was able to help Santa deliver the toys when a giant snowball rolled down the hill and destroyed Santas sleigh. This book teaches children patience and understanding. It also encourages them to help others and to never give up on a dream.

Meet little Chris Moose, the girl Moose who accidently stumbles upon Santa Claus and his team of Reindeer. After the initial shock of it all, she speaks to the Reindeer name Dasher. Amazed by what she sees, little Chris Moose tells Dasher that she would like to grow up to pull Santa's sleigh. The big Reindeer quickly crushes her hopes by saying: "I'm sorry. But you can't. First, because you are a Moose and not a Reindeer. Look at the differences between us. We are considered superior and it has always been that way. And second, you are a little girl. Only boys are allowed to pull Santa's sleigh. Not little girls. Not ever. Now go home."Upset, confused and even angry at the obvious and unfair discrimination, little Chris Moose does go home. More determined than ever to become the first girl...and...first Moose to pull Santa's sleigh. With her best-friend in life Penelope - an arctic Bunny who was bullied in Baby Animal School because she wears thick glasses and loves to learn - Chris Moose heads off in an adventure filled journey to the North Pole to change outdated traditions, break a few barriers, and make Christmas history in the process. And with the help of Mrs. Claus, she may just accomplish her goal.
