With the holidays quickly approaching, I know many of you are looking for gifts to buy your book-loving friends and family. I have a special treat for those of you who enjoy a good laugh. Today I am talking about Schmuck the Buck: Santa’s Jewish Reindeer. Before I start I should mention that when I saw EXO I instantly thought of the Kpop band…yep…I have a problem.

**Disclaimer: I received this novel for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.**
Larry was just your regular caribou, who was cruelly excluded from his crew. He and his kin happened to be the sole Jewish reindeer in the North Pole. Larry was bullied and treated the worst way, until his plan saved one Christmas Day.
A contemporary satirical take on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Schmuck the Buck introduces Larry, a young Jewish reindeer. He overcomes his awkward and sometimes painful youth to save Christmas. His tale of acceptance and inclusion is sure to warm the hearts of anyone who loves Christmas, Hanukkah, or both. Sixty pages of vibrant illustrations bring his story to life. A unique modern addition to any holiday library.
This cover really shows the reader a glimpse at what they are in store for behind these pages. Simple, yet funny, this book really gave me some great laughs.
Things I didn’t like:
- Possible Offences
- I know this is meant to be a humor novel, and it was to me, but I think that some might take offense to a few of the things in here. Just remember when going into this book that it is satire, meant to be light-hearted and fun to read.
Things I liked:
- Characters
- I really love how each character is dramatized. The yearbook photo page was one of my favorites out of the entire novel. It was just too funny.
- Can I just say everything…?
- Ok…how about Art!
- The images in this novel are bright and colorful, adding to the humor. Let me just say this…look at all of the details.
- Ok…how about Art!
