Title: The Wild Toboggan Ride
Author: Suzan Reid
In The Wild Toboggan Ride, Nicki asks Grandpa Dan to give her one last push down the hill before they have to leave for the day. Grandpa Dan reluctantly goes to give her a push but trips and sends them flying down the hill. They sled through the town and accidentally collect a few passengers for an adventure on the toboggan.
This is a cute story that has a lot of repetition in it which is helpful for children reading this book. The illustrations are fun and colorful. It is funny to compare little Nicki’s face with the adult’s faces as they sled through town. What is also interesting about this book is that the words, bump, oomph, and crash, are not always horizontal to emphasize the damage being caused when those “sounds” occur in the story.
