+ Want to read

The village couldn't afford the traditional Christmas-eve circus performance one year, but Jingle and his baby animals came up with a show no one will ever forget. "The Italian setting dePaola depicts so beautifully takes on a special glow in this holiday story that shines with the spirit of giving....A celebration for young and old alike." — "Booklist" (starred review) "The magic of Christmas prevails, and Jingle and the baby animals give an unforgettable performance." — "New Advocate"
