Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the most famous reindeer of all, and his story has been retold in books, movies, and songs for decades. Rudolph was born with a shiny, red nose that glowed in the dark. His owner was Santa Claus, who saw the special power in Rudolph's nose and knew it could be a valuable asset in guiding his sleigh through the snowy winter night. Santa took Rudolph under his wing, teaching him how to use his unique abilities to become the star of the reindeer team.
