Red Sled
CCBC Review:
“Scrinch scrunch scrinch scrunch scrinch scrunch.” The spare narrative of this delightful picture book is composed entirely of sounds. The story unfolds through author/illustrator Lita Judge’s bold, whimsical pencil and watercolor illustrations, which open with a child crossing a snowy expanse toward a cozy-looking home. They leaves their red sled propped against the house when they goes inside. A big brown bear can’t resist the sled’s appeal and borrows it for a moonlit outing. But other animals can’t resist either, and eventually the bear, a moose, a rabbit, a possum, two raccoons, a porcupine, and a mouse plummet down the snowy hills—one big pile of fun on the small red sled (“Wheeeeeeeeee”)!Illustrated by Lita Judge
