The illustrations that accompany the lyrics to this familiar Christmas song tell the sentimental story of a puppy that sneaks into Santa's sleigh at the North Pole and then follows him down the chimney at a young boy's house. The large, full-page paintings provide details of Santa's flight and of the boy and his family's Christmas Eve preparations. A musical score is included on the endpapers.
