From Booklist:

After a night of falling snow, two children (well, OK, dogs dressed in pajamas) look out on a day that’s perfect for sledding. Once dressed for the cold, they climb an enormous hill with their father. All three pile onto the sled and speed downward. Hitting a bump, they take off, flying though the air for a few pages, seemingly soaring above the clouds until, suddenly, gravity kicks in and “SPLOOMPH!” they land, their fall cushioned by the snow at the bottom of the hill. In the paintings, snowy landscapes and cloudy skies create lovely backdrops, while the expressive, cartoonlike characters bring energy and good-natured fun to the artwork. Short and simple, the text on each double-page spread varies from a dozen words to none at all. Even toddlers will soon chime in on what’s sure to be their favorite line, “Uh-oh,” not to mention echoing the little dogs’ cry after their snowy landing, “Again! Again!” Preschool-Kindergarten. --Carolyn Phelan
