Jingle
How the Littlest Reindeer Earned Her Bells
by MacKenzie Cadenhead
Illustrated by Erin Kraan
Celebrate the magic of Christmas as Jingle, the littlest reindeer, sets out to earn her place on Santa’s team in this delightful picture book from Marvel Comics creator MacKenzie Cadenhead and the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Buffalo Fluffalo, Erin Kraan.
In the magical North Pole, little Jingle has one big dream: to earn her magic bells and fly with Santa’s team. But in a world full of strong and mighty reindeer, Jingle stands out for being... well, small. When the annual Reindeer Games put her to the test, Jingle will need more than speed and strength to succeed—she’ll need heart, hope, and a whole lot of ingenuity.
With her loyal pup Holly Jolly by her side, Jingle tackles tinsel-filled tasks and an avalanche of snowy challenges on her way to unwrapping the greatest gift of all: the true meaning of Christmas cheer.
A festive tale that's a sleighful of holiday magic, Jingle reminds readers that sometimes, the best presents come in unexpected packages.
