If you're going with the traditional American Santa and reindeer https://www.amazon.com/Santas-Story-Will-Hillenbrand/dp/1542043387/ref=asc_df_1542043387?mcid=5ea6280c436238179d5b156abf588549&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693294851223&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8503679737291462636&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009739&hvtargid=pla-818191969858&psc=1 this looks like a good one about Santa finding his reindeer ( it's for ages 3-7, so definitely a read aloud book but keep at a distance since it's a traditional book with words and pages ( older toddler to school age) type of book)
