Squirrels on Skis (Beginner Books)

My girl LOVES Squirrels AND skiing. She calls our local squirrels Skittles. This book has perfect reinforcement of a number of her mastered sight words, outstanding phonics rule-based practice sounding out words, AND excellent challenge words that are solveable with a combination of the rhyming prose and the illustrations and context (e.g., “chalet” and “day”). She took two months from ordering to THE END but as her reading skills improved this fall of first grade, she was able to increase her page / paragraph count per day. We (she!) will enjoy reading this book again and again, as we’ll bring it to our children’s book corner of our local ski museum where we co volunteer. She’ll now be able to read it aloud for storytime to the young children visitors when we are there for our volunteer shifts this ski season and beyond. So happy with this find!

My daughter (five) loved this book. We have squirrels in our backyard we feed corn and she was tickled at this story.

Bought this to read to my grandkids before going on a family ski trip…they were giggling at all the silly squirrels on skis!!

My 4 year old loves this story. It’s a must before and during ski season.

My kids loved this book! It was goofy and short enough to keep my 2-year-olds attention, but had enough words and some new vocabulary so my 5-year-old was entertained, as well. Cute story, fun pictures, easy read!

Never seen a squirrel on skis? Well, in this book you are going to see LOTS!"First there was one, and then there were two. Three more came gliding from under the trees." The unsuspecting town lay covered in snow and still. Not for long. Eighty five squirrels were now on their way! What a surprise for the townsfolk as they awoke! Squirrels on skis were everywhere with one even skiing down the church steeple! Now it must be said that they also got into some mischief, knocking over a garbage can and a snowman. What were the people to do about this pesty invasion? Someone suggested Mr. Powers, the pest control man but does Sally Powers have a better idea?This is definitely a book that could be described as silly BUT it is a fun read and the illustrations are cute. It's quite long so definitely value for money and has a nice ending.

I got this book in hopes of getting my 2 year old excited for the upcoming ski season. She's beyond elated with this book and has the whole thing memorized, we read it every night. My motive for having the book paid off too, she's in her ski gear nearly every night and ready for snow!

Squirrels on Skis who would have thought? A rabbit entrepreneur. Very cute book. My son giggled all the way through.

Loves the Cat in the Hat collection.Lots of fun as usual, for kids and grown ups.

I love reading this to my granddaughter.

Enjoyed this book as a family (in our 20s and 50s) at Christmas...longer than expected which was a bonus for us

We love this story. It is funny and interesting. Perfect for a little one learning how to ski.

Love this story for my 3 year old at bedtime.
