Susan Jeffers, the Caldecott Honor and New York Times bestselling artist of The Nutcracker and The Twelve Days of Christmas, takes readers on an enchanted journey set to lyrics from the beloved holiday song.

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way…

Ride along with a girl, a boy, their pony, and a mischievous dog as they travel to Grandma’s house. With playful animals in their path, their journey gets a bit sidetracked. But soon enough they arrive at Grandma’s—where an unexpected visitor fills them with holiday cheer!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—Jeffers reimagines "Jingle Bells" in the wintry countryside. A little girl, her brother, and a mischievous Westie climb aboard their "one-horse open sleigh" to deliver a Christmas gift to their grandmother, and high jinks abound. As they dash through the snowy landscape, everyone tumbles out of the sleigh to the shock of nearby deer. The Westie takes off on a merry chase with a hare and a fox and the siblings encounter a myriad of curious animals (a picture glossary of the animals encountered is appended). Eventually the trio arrive at grandmother's house—and in a clever twist, grandpa happens to be Santa. The family straps on their ice skates and glide joyfully across the frozen river. Jeffers's signature watercolor-and-ink paintings capture the soft winter landscape, ensuring that readers will snuggle a little closer with loved ones. The song lyrics have been altered to fit the plot, but they are mostly intact and still very singable. VERDICT Perfect for one-on-one sharing or holiday storytime; the back matter encourages a second read to find all the critters missed the first time around.—Shanna Kim, Los Angeles Public Library
