From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 2-This very simple story is filled with rhyming and sight words perfectly suited to children just starting to read on their own. A group of colorful mice discovers an ice rink and have fun swirling and whirling around. The little creatures take a break from their skating and look down to see the pattern their skates have made and realize that it looks like a cat. The feline comes to life, filled with color, and joins the mice in their skating adventure. The illustrations, in the trademark style of the Emberleys, are vibrant, geometric, and playful. Each spread has bright pictures and one line of text. This layout highlights the simple words as well as the art, which makes this book a good hybrid of a traditional easy reader and a picture book. A charming choice for winter sharing.-Lora Van Marel, Orland Park Public Library, ILα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
