About the Book
Lucy loves winter, but her friends just don't understand. Enjoy the landscape of Lucy's winter wonderland as she shares her excitement for "mice skating" with her friends. Full color. 8 1/2 x 10 15/16.Book Synopsis
This mouse doesn't want to stay in the house . . . even if it's cold outside!For most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But not for Lucy! She loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. And most of all, Lucy loves to skate, and she's just ACHING to show off her new skill with her friends. After all, a winter wonderland is twice as nice when you have friends to enjoy it with. But the other mice just don't understand--and after a disastrous indoor snowball fight, it looks as if they never will. Can Lucy find a way to make the other mice come out and "mice skate" too?
With intricately detailed illustrations as cozy as a fireplace in December (and a cup of cocoa, too), this funny punny warmhearted love song to winter--and to one brave, bold, and generous mouse--will have kids bundling up for some cold-weather fun of their own.
Review Quotes
"Field mice are supposed to spend the winter burrowing and huddling underground, but little Lucy would rather be out in the bracing cold. She can't convince her mouse friends to join her, until she finds a way to get them to follow her to the pond for ice skating. Silvestro's simple story is heavy on cheese puns likely to sail past younger listeners, but White's charming illustrations, with their miniaturist sensibility and cozy wood-toned textures, will have little ones hunting through the pages for details of the field-mouse lifestyle and décor." --The New York TImes
