Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 2. This simple story begins with a boy seeing a playground slide for the first time. He thinks, perhaps, it's a big metal reclining chair. A crew of friendly kids sets him straight as they demonstrate sliding, complete with screams and yells. When the boy's turn comes, he dreads every step up the ladder, sits frozen for a terrified moment at the top, and screams all the way down. But after landing, he announces, "I LOVE IT!" Young children will enjoy watching the boy learn what they already know and remembering the agony and the thrill of their first slide. Utterly simple, the illustrations are broad, cartoonlike line drawings filled in with areas of solid color. A face consists of little more than two dots and a straight or circular mouth, but that doesn't limit its expressiveness. Padded covers and heavy pages will work well for little fingers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it, already!, June 4, 2005
By Lewis Jones "lcandjj" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 2 year old daughter loved the first four books by Kit Allen and even memorized them! This book is fun too. The pictures and small number of words on each page help keep her attention throughout the entire book. If she could type, she would highly recommend these books, and as her parents we do too.

5.0 out of 5 stars You go, girl!, February 10, 2008
By cambridge reader "cambridgearea" (cambridge, ma United States) - See all my reviews
A spirited little girl leads a pack of boys at the playground and encourages a timid newcomer boy to go down the slide. Expressive, fun pictures with minimal text. We love all of Kit Allen's books including Galoshes and Sweater... nice subtle humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for babies!, November 12, 2005
By F. Nicholas Jungman (Wichita, KS United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We have trouble keeping our eight-month-old's attention with most of her books. But she loves this one. Partly it's the bright colors and the quick reading, but I think mostly it's the sound effects called for on the parent's part. Daddy reading "AAAAAAAH!" and "WOOOOO-HOOOOO!" is endlessly entertaining.

My son has sat and turned the pages of this book since he was 9 months old. He loves the contrasting scale of the faces. It is by far his favorite book. Read more
