PS
Two modern-day kids (plus their adorable Westie) enlist a pony and sleigh to deliver a present. The sleigh tips over, the dog takes off after a rabbit, and a fox chases the dog. The traditional song's text has puzzlingly little to do with the visual story, but it might be fun to sing while examining Jeffers's precise and gentle watercolor and ink art.
