About J. Otto Seibold |

Just in time for the holidays, Chronicle Books has released a brand new, special edition of the modern Christmas classic, OLIVE, THE OTHER REINDEER. This beautiful deluxe edition marks the tenth anniversary of J.otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh's story of a little dog named Olive with big reindeer dreams.
Images of his other children (one now nearly 15, the other almost 13) were in the original Olive, but since then a third child came into his life. Look for the names of all three of his children on the tower of Santa's castle. He also added his youngest child to the spread where Santa and Olive fly over Paris. The best flourish of all is a pop-up castle at the end of the story. Designed to be a perfect holiday gift, this edition will appeal to Olive's many fans, and is sure to make new ones.

When the book was first published in 1997, it enjoyed great reviews and has since sold more than a million copies. Ten years later, J.otto Seibold has had the opportunity to go back and freshen up the Olive that was so popular over the past decade, and bring it to a whole new generation of children ready to discover it. The new "deluxe" edition is a larger version of the original book, and it features flaps to lift, new illustrations, spots to scratch and sniff, and a spectacular pop-up grand finale.
