This was a cute book that children who like to ski or snowboard will enjoy. Molly skis all the time and is an expert skier. When her ski breaks and she has to wait to get it fixed, the person who fixes it loans her a snowboard. She thinks it will be easy but finds out she will need to take lessons and practise to become good at this new sport. She succeeds and realizes that she now has two different skills she can enjoy.

The story is told in rhyme that varies throughout the story. This illustrations take up most of each page and are excellent with a lot of detail. I enjoyed the story but would have liked it to be just a little longer showing her enjoying both skills and not giving one up for the other. it is mentioned but not reinforced which I think is a good lesson for children. Overall I enjoyed this book and liked that they talked about taking lessons to become skilled at something especially something dangerous like skiing or snowboarding.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.… (más)
