Join Sarah and Mr Pottifer in their magical plant shop, where fantastical creatures grow on trees!
It's nearly Christmas Day when an unexpected visitor arrives – it's Santa, and he needs their help!
His reindeer are in bed with Antler Flu and without them, he can't deliver his presents on time. But growing well-behaved reindeer isn't as easy as it seems. . . and before long the mischevious creatures have created a rather MERRY MESS!
Can Sarah figure out a way to save Christmas before it's too late?
This rhyming story full of festive fun celebrates being different, and the importance of teamwork.

With enchanting full-page illustrations and fun, rhyming text, this festive adventure completely captivated my testers when read aloud.
When the reindeer gets sick with Antler Flu, Santa fears they’ll be too poorly to pull his sleigh on Christmas Eve. When he arrives at Mr Pottifer’s Plant Shop – a plant shop like no other – Mr Pottifer and green-fingered Sarah set to work, using magical seeds to try and grow some replacements.
It’s fair to say that magical reindeers are somewhat unpredictable, and things don’t go quite according to plan. With Christmas just hours away, can determination, teamwork and an unlikely hero save the day?
While How to Grow a Reindeer is perfect as a standalone adventure, my testers loved spotting familiar characters from the rest of the series nestled among the illustrations – including a unicorn, dragon, and mermaid.
