Editorial Reviews

"This is a celebration of snow and speed, pure and simple — readers will understand exactly why, after landing with a bone-rattling SPLOOMPH, the kids have only one thing to say: 'Again! Again!'" — Kirkus

"Readers get a good sense of the cold, crisp snow and billowing clouds, and the characters' faces are expressive. Children will enjoy this reminder of how much fun winter can be." — School Library Journal

"Even toddlers will soon chime in on what's sure to be their favorite line, 'Uh-oh,' not to mention echoing the little dogs' cry after their snowy landing, 'Again! Again!'" — Booklist

From the Publisher

Even toddlers will soon chime in on what's sure to be their favorite line, "Uh-oh," not to mention echoing the little dogs' cry after their snowy landing, "Again! Again!"

Booklist

The morning after a snowfall a dog family heads out to the "best sledding hill in the / whole / wide / world." Piling onto their sled, they swoosh "down the hill / faster than the speed of sound" before a BIG bump launches them into the air with the geese, sled and all. In his authorial debut, Harper nails the excitement of a swoop down a pristine hill. He depicts his dogs as floppy-eared brown hounds all bundled up in boots, parkas, hats and mittens. The full-bleed paintings place them in a wintry wilderness, surrounded by evergreens. This is a celebration of snow and speed, pure and simple-readers will understand exactly why, after landing with a bone-rattling SPLOOMPH, the kids have only one thing to say: "Again! Again!" (Picture book. 2-5)
