This is the story of an adorable pup named Jingle who does not have a home. He hangs out near Pineville Elementary School. Suddenly the boys and girls disappear; everyplace appears deserted. Christmas break is about to begin. Sadly, Jingle falls asleep. Soon he is awakened by a most pleasant surprise visitor who changes his life forever.The art work in this book is excellent. Unfortunately, the story text has many repetitive sentences that begin with the words but and and...not a stunning example of proper sentence structure. Also, the book is advertised as interactive. It is not made clear that one has to purchase the stuffed bear at Hallmark in order to hear the various responses of the dog when the text is read. Jingle all the Way is a cute story about a dog who wants nothing more than to be with his friends and find a warm home for the holidays.The book works in conjunction with a stuffed animal of Jingle the dog that reacts to your reading from highlighted lines in the story, which adds a truly innovative dimension to children's story telling. Each page features creative use of modeling and photography to tell this story in a life like way.Jingle discovers if he comes around the school each day when the bell rings he gets to play with all the kids. As winter break comes along he finds that the school is empty and goes off to search elsewhere for his friends. Still alone on the cold winter nights, this cute pup gets some help from a very special visitor.Jingle all the Way is written by Tom Shay-Zapien.This books chases down a rating of... 5 cozy pups snuggled in a blanket!
