The reindeer* were about the size of Shetland ponies and their hair so white that even the snow hardly looked white compared with them [except that it was a 35 lb dog]... Their harness was of scarlet leather and covered with bells. [or maybe it was a blue nylon jump rope with pipe cleaners threaded through beads for bells] ...
In the middle of the sledge sat a very different person--a great lady, [ now that is true--quite different] taller than any woman that Edmund had ever seen.
She also was covered in white fur up to her throat [well actually it was a blue twirly skirt, leggings and a long sleeved shirt with sequins on it] and held a long straight golden wand in her right hand [which looked remarkably like a toothbrush] and wore a golden crown on her head. ...
It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern [ I think we call that look more like mischief, Clive].
The sledge was a fine sight [yes, FINE SIGHT it was] as it came sweeping towards Edmund with the bells jingling and the Dwarf cracking his whip and the snow flying up on each side of it.
"And what, pray, are you?" said the Lady."(The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, p27-28)
*That is one TOLERANT reindeer.

Very fun. =) Rebekah and Hannah were looking at this with me, and Rebekah was impressed with Eirena's "dress-up" clothes. Hannah, on the other hand, had eyes only for Uc. I kept trying to point out Eirena to Hannah, but she just kept barking and pointing to Uc. =)
So are you actually reading her The Chronicles of Narnia? Excellent...
We are indeed reading Narnia to her. We actually finished TLTW&TW once and she wants to read it again before moving on to the next one.
Rachel, the "dress-up" clothes are pretty much what she wears everyday- if she isn't wearing he pink costume. These clothes are permitted to leave the house so she goes e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. in them.
