The big draw here is that most of the text can be sung (with a little practice) to the tune of "There Were Ten in a Bed." The story's pretty basic with ten animals on one toboggan sledding down the hill and falling off the sled one by one. Wackiness ensues. Each animal has some sort of winter gear

be it earmuffs, a sweater or even a helmet, but moose takes the cake with goggles and rainbow colored leg warmers. Liza Woodruff's get the plot across competently while adding fun details like the snowball that forms out of some of the fallen animals and races the sled to the bottom of the mountain. Water color, colored pencil and pastel all blend well together with lots of motion lines to indicate the speedy action.Used for preschool outreach storytimes.

Similar to ten in a bed. A counting book with animals. It starts with ten on the sled and each time one gets off until there is none, and then they all get back on. Illustration were fun, great book for learning subtraction.

A cute backwards counting book that entails a moose, a squirrel, a fox and all sorts of other animals. Along to the tune of "Ten on the Bed", the animals find themselves going on a thrilling sled ride and one by one they all fall off until..... (well, you'll just have to read the book)
What made me
I'll start by mentioning the illustrations. They are adorable! Each animal has it's own personality as they fall off the sled. The story itself, with all of the rhymes is really neat. It goes very quickly and all too soon you are at the end of the book! My favorite line is: "Great Thunder! Duck Under!" A very imaginative take on "Ten on the Bed".
What I didn't like:
Well, except for the fact that the song is now rolling around in my head I found nothing I didn't like!
In Summary:
I would highly recommend this book for some cold weather reading! A great book to snuggle up to and watch the snow outside and just imagine what the animals in your backyard might be doing!
The Author:
Not only is Kim Norman a talented writer, she is also an artist and a storyteller. Her website is full of pictures of her talented self as well as a cute get to know the author by the kids who love her books!
This book gets 7 thumbs up out of 7

Appropriate book for me since we just had our second snow of December a couple of days ago. Cute book for its winteriness. I liked the animals too.
