Cute story and lovely illustrations。 Great to read to preschoolers and early elementary around the holidays and first snowfall。 And sends the message that no matter how big or small， you can make a difference。

This is a Christmas picture book that will warm your heart。 This is about a little red sleigh that could。 The sleigh had one big dream to become Santa's sleigh。 All she wanted to do was fly。 But she was told she was too small， too young， and could not fly。 But does she accomplish her goal？ The illustrations were vibrant， detailed， and very intriguing。 The illustrations went with the story。 This book is full of wonder and magic。 I recommend this book for children of all ages。 I give this book fi This is a Christmas picture book that will warm your heart。 This is about a little red sleigh that could。 The sleigh had one big dream to become Santa's sleigh。 All she wanted to do was fly。 But she was told she was too small， too young， and could not fly。 But does she accomplish her goal？ The illustrations were vibrant， detailed， and very intriguing。 The illustrations went with the story。 This book is full of wonder and magic。 I recommend this book for children of all ages。 I give this book five stars。 。。。more

Little Red Sleigh is an adorably wonderful holiday read to get you in the spirits！The illustrations are gorgeous， and we haven't even gotten to the story yet。 Erin Guendelsberger has given us quite the gem in a little picture book。 This book brings back the charm of Christmas morning for me， with all the holiday spirit and Christmas themed colours （red， white， gold， green！）。 I absolutely adore this book and I'm totally enchanted by it。 It's exactly what I want from a holiday Christmas read。This Little Red Sleigh is an adorably wonderful holiday read to get you in the spirits！The illustrations are gorgeous， and we haven't even gotten to the story yet。 Erin Guendelsberger has given us quite the gem in a little picture book。 This book brings back the charm of Christmas morning for me， with all the holiday spirit and Christmas themed colours （red， white， gold， green！）。 I absolutely adore this book and I'm totally enchanted by it。 It's exactly what I want from a holiday Christmas read。This little red sleigh wants to help Santa out， because that's what sleighs do！ People told her she doesn't do it， but if you just believe there's a chance。 Suddenly， our sleigh friend is off on a magical adventure to the North Pole！ I think this is one magical book that should become a holiday favourite！ It has so much charm and it's so wonderful！ I love it so very much。 I highly recommend picking up this book。 Five out of five stars。Thank you to NetGalley and SourceBooks for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review。 。。。more

This is a beautiful wintery Christmas book。 The illustrations， journey and message remind me ever so slightly of The Polar Express。 The art really captures the magic of snow fall and the joy of the season。 My daughter really enjoyed this book。 We also read it during a snowstorm after sleeping so it was quite fitting。

This is one of those stories about an inanimate object being life like that just doesn’t work。 How annoying it is to read that the sleigh had eyes。 They come up repeatedly， but are not shown in the illustrations。 There are a lot of better Christmas books available。

I read this book to a group of preschoolers & it was great to get them into the holiday spirt and enjoy this story， while learning about dreaming big。 It is very inspiring to the little ones to dream big & never give up on what you put your mind too。 Nothing is to big to complete as long as you set your mind to it & work hard。 This storyline message is very important for young ones to hear & understand！

This book has a theme that is Christmasy and winter all in one book。 It’s cute how the sled manages to move along to the final destination。 The artwork is colorful but lacks enough shading that a child could imagine what’s happening in the story even if they cannot yet read。 I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review。

A small red sleigh dreams of one day being Santa’s big red sleigh。 This is a lovely story about having a dream and working towards it， one step at a time。 On her journey， the sleigh meets a train and a truck who encourage her to start small and work within her capabilities， so that one day， she will be able to fulfil her dream。A lovely， festive story to share。I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。
