Comments

The child asks, 'Shall we go again?' The passengers shout 'NO,' but young readers will shout 'YES!'

...Onlookers, young or old, will start wishing for snow for their own exciting sled rides. A worthy addition to any preschool or early childhood-library; highly recommended for children and great fun to read aloud.

... a zippy winter storytime selection...

Exclamatory prose exuberantly narrates this fast-paced, cumulative sledding journey that visualizes a continuous hill running from each verso's top left corner to each recto's bottom right. Spread by spread, a sled comically careens downhill, picking up passengers along the way... Arrival at a precipice conveys drama and humor as the whole group loop-de-loops through the sky and, "plop," into the snow. Yang's digital renderings exude a contemporary, geometric aesthetic, coolly emphasizing icy blues in this riotous tobogganing adventure.

An action-focused sled ride... As the sled races along, picking up passengers, the dialogue, in speech bubbles, includes apologies and checks on well-being, perfect for starting conversations about emotions and helping friends. The chunky black text gloriously becomes art, wrapping around in circles for the sled's inevitable roller-coaster loop. Basic action words like jump and stop will make for interactive read-aloud moments... Yang's tale is an earnest, pleasant romp... Simply fun, ripe for repeat reads.
