About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Nancy Carlson is the author and illustrator of over 60 picture books including bestseller I Like Me! Nancy graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. When Nancy is not drawing pictures and writing stories you can find her hiking, biking, or playing golf!
Grade 1-3?Arnie takes his new skateboard to the park, where he and his friend Tina watch the "cool kids" jump barrels and careen up ramps. When the two friends first try these tricks they fail miserably, but later, with practice, they succeed and are made regular members of the gang. Then Fly, the leader, suggests a trip to Hairy Kerry Hill, where he agrees to go down first and takes a terrible fall. Fly volunteers Arnie to go next. Faced with a difficult decision, he pictures himself with a broken leg as a result of his bravado. He turns down the challenge, ending up an even bigger hero as the other kids all follow him back to the park. In simple, short sentences, Carlson uses the exploits of these anthropomorphic animals to teach young readers a valuable lesson. Bold backgrounds hold her familiar cartoon characters bedecked in brightly colored, hip outfits, accented by the well-placed text. Her fans will relish Arnie's latest adventure.?Dot Minzer, North Barrington School, Barrington, IL
