review 1: I picked this up because we had the author/illustrator coming to our store for an event. I was so happy that I actually liked the book. It had a funny story with a great message. The best way I can describe the illustrations is “comforting.” A book is good when you immediately want to tell someone about it! Johanna Wright was a genuinely nice person and she packed the house! We had hot chocolate and everything.
review 2: This icy read is just right for a very cold winter day, like we have been having here in Wisconsin. One little bunny thinks that she is a champion ice-skater. As a champion, she has to wait for conditions to be just right, even if it means waiting through spring, summer and fall! When the waiting is finally over, she has to eat a big bre... moreakfast to prepare. Clothing selection is also important, enough layers to be warm, but not too many. Finally, it is time to skate her adoring fans. She demonstrates her high level of skill, well, almost. The day ends with hot chocolate, a warm bath and a cozy bed. The perfect ending for a champion day.Wright has created a cheery book about not only ice skating but the wonder of big dreams. It is a delight to find a picture book with a young girl exhibiting such strong self-esteem with no hesitation. Wright nicely weaves in the truth behind the little girl’s dreams. This happens particularly when the actual skating begins and readers discover that she’s not really a champion ice skater. In her illustrations, Wright creates a cozy world. There is the rabbit’s home inside a large tree that is filled with deep colors that evoke a warmth. This contrasts nicely with the blues of the outdoors and the white of the snow. The entire book exudes a cluttered friendliness and family-centered cheer.Sparkling with ice and plenty of bravado, this picture book will inspire children to dream big themselves. Appropriate for ages 3-5. less
