One-Dog Sleigh by Mary Casanova

One-Dog Sleigh by Mary Casanova

I hitched up my pony to my little red sleigh. My dog pranced and danced. I want to play You bet, I said, just me and you in a one-dog sleigh.

Harness bells jing-jing-jingle under branches frosted white, but is there enough room for everyone when squirrel, owl, lynx, and other forest animals ask to play?

On the ten-year anniversary of One-Dog Canoe, the author-illustrator team of Mary Casanova and Ard Hoyt have created a winter version of their popular picture book. Filled with lyrical text, bouncy rhythm, and whimsical illustrations, this is one heart-warming and adventurous sleigh ride you won't want to miss. Bundle up and climb aboard

Mary Casanova grew up in a camp-like atmosphere on the edge of St. Paul, with parents who regularly packed the station wagon to capacity--ten kids and the family dog--and headed up north to a cabin. Mary is the author of One-Dog Canoe and thirty other books. Several of them--including Moose Tracks, Wolf Shadows, When Eagles Fall, and most recently Frozen--are published by the University of Minnesota Press. These books, frequently found on state reading lists across the country, have earned countless awards such as the ALA Notable, Parent's Choice Gold Award, Booklist Editor's Choice, and two Minnesota Book Awards. She lives with her husband and three dogs in a turn-of-the-century house in Ranier, Minnesota.
