PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Exclamatory prose exuberantly narrates this fast-paced, cumulative sledding journey that visualizes a continuous hill running from each verso's top left corner to each recto's bottom right. Spread by spread, a sled comically careens downhill, picking up passengers along the way. At the helm is an elf-like stocking-capped character, portrayed with pink skin, whose alarmed pronouncements—and apologies—are captured with speech bubbles each time the sled scoops up another hillside bystander. "Oh, bunny! No!" the sledder shouts before an apparent collision leaves the hare atop the their head ("Sorry, bunny"). Other encounters fill the vessel with a snowman, moose, and more, each cranking up the comedy (penguins—"on vacation"—scatter like bowling pins before one lands head down in the sled). Arrival at a precipice conveys drama and humor as the whole group loop-de-loops through the sky and, "plop," into the snow. Yang's digital renderings exude a contemporary, geometric aesthetic, coolly emphasizing icy blues in this riotous tobogganing adventure. Ages 3–7.
