Red Sled
By Lita Judge
Ages 2-5 (and older!)
Atheneum Books for Young Readers (2011)
OK – I realize Picture Book Month is over, but I can’t resist one more book. Kinda like when the baker tucks an extra cookie in the bag…
Red Sled captured me from the cover. It may be a “wordless” book, but with illustrations this expressive, who needs words? A kid leaves his sled outside at night – a clear invitation to a passing bear. With a few onomatopoeic words and her delightful pencil-and-watercolor animals, Judge captures a winter’s night fantasy. I especially love the way she portrays each animal’s personality as they pile on the sled for one last ride. Fortunately, the sled survives.
Grab this book, snuggle up with a kid and enjoy a really fun read- aloud.
