Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
K-Gr. 3. Following up lavish photographic introductions, Riding School and Ballet School (both 2003), this book takes children on an equally attractive tour of an ice skating school. Each spread covers one or two topics, amply illustrated by crisp, color photos accompanied by extended captions. Lilly, a cherubic skater who looks about seven years old, guides children through the stages of training as she helps a younger friend at her first lesson; practices with her own class (which includes two enthusiastic boys); receives a tutorial from an older student; and, finally, performs in her own end-of-session show. For the advanced moves demonstrated by the more seasoned skaters, diagrams would have made the descriptions more accessible. In the end, though, most children will be attracted less by the how-to elements than the images of winsome little girls gliding in spotless white boots and fluttery skirts. Jennifer Mattson
