K-3Sports Illustrated Kids series.
Illustrated by
Christina Forshay.
A boy narrates his special evening at an outdoor hockey game. "We squeeze under blankets, up in the stands, / mugs of hot chocolate warm up our hands." Cartoony illustrations feature midnight blues, sugary snow, glowing stadium lights, and a loving family. While the rhymes sometimes falter, the home team skates smoothly to a win before the boy bids satisfying farewells.
