Though most of us know a verse or two of this old song, this oversized picture book includes many more stanzas than you probably ever heard. Best of all, the glorious illustrations follow a 19th Century family in their horse and sled on the way to Grandfather's house. The sights and scenes capture a sense of another time and place that takes the song back to its roots and gives young children a bit of visual history.

Colorful images of father and son capture the fun the pair share. There is no real story, but rather a catalog of the active things they like to do together. Printed on sturdy cardboard stock, this is a book for toddlers. Good for talking about what is happening in the pictures and for making connections between their own Daddy and the games played in the pictures.
