Outside, the crescent moon is shining brightly and the world is covered with snow. Inside, a boy and his father feel sad. So they put on their hats and coats and climb a hill, pulling a red sled. Father and son climb aboard and zoom down the hill under a starlit sky. With their spirits lifted high, they return home for a mug of hot chocolate. Then it’s time for bed. Pat Thomas’s loving story is told with the utmost simplicity and affectionately illustrated by Chris L. Demarest.

Reviews

Starred review "The rhyme works wonderfully with the simple yet very effective paintings. A quietly exhilarating ride."
     —Kirkus Reviews

"This is a great book for storytime and one-on-one sharing, and beginning readers will be able to follow the simple language presented in large black script."
     —School Library Journal
