Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee

32 pp. | Chronicle | December, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-7495-3 $15.99
(3) K-3 On his first attempt at skiing, Mr. Magee finds himself hurtling downhill at perilous speeds, dangling over a precipitous ravine, and being inadvertently rescued by a birch-tree-seeking moose. As in Mr. Magee's previous two adventures, the spry, humor-filled verse is successful at getting readers to root for the ever-ebullient main character and his dog, shown in appealing retro-style gouache illustrations.
