LITTLE RED SLED

LITTLE RED SLED by Erin Guendelsberger. Illustrated by Elizaveta Tretyakova

What if little sleds have dreams? What if when they grow up they want nothing more than to pull Santa's sleigh? Such is the dream of one little red sled in Ohio author Erin Guendelsberger's delightful story Everyone around her tells her she is too young and too little to dream such a big dream, but she sets out anyway to make her way to the North Pole. Along the way she meets some friends who give her some great advice.

This picture book is a touching story that brings into focus the need for patience, development, and growth as we pursue our dreams in life. Things often don't happen in a flash. It is important to allow time to pass and maturity to happen.

Elizaveta Tretyakova's illustrations in this story are absolutely delightful. Full of snow, traveling, and of course, Santa, these are the type of pictures you expect in a beautiful children's Christmas story.
