Grandma is full of surprises when she takes Jenny and Joanna on a special carriage ride through the snowy streets.

In her latest book with Orca,Queen Nadine, Maryann Kovalski has once again blended the unique voice and warm-and-bouncy artwork that has made her a favorite across the country. She has illustrated over twenty titles, six of which she also wrote. Her touching Brenda and Edward has become a Canadian classic and her illustrations for The Big Storm by Rhea Tregebov earned her a Governer General's Award nomination. Best-selling collaborations include Mable Murple with Sheree Fitch and Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut with Margeret Atwood.

Maryann Kovalski's profile page

"This offering has the kind of unity that only an author-illustrator can produce, and it's a hoot. The jokes play out between words and pictures . . . Incorporating the lyrics to "Jingle Bells,"this reader makes use of the common-sense but powerful fact that it's easier to read words when you know them already. Find a six-year-old and enjoy."
