Enjoy the thrill of a sled ride down Unrue Street! Jump on your sled and soon feel giant snowflakes against your face and the rattle of your sled bouncing up and over the bumps on the icy path. Let the story's rhyme and repetition engage you in a cadence that moves you along as the main character in the story.
On a snow-lit night
filled with laughter and snowball fights
and neighborhood kids bundled tight,
take your sled for a ride
down Unrue Street.
Hiruni's illustrations, vividly created in brilliant watercolor, give readers a nostalgic experience with snowy nighttime scenes. Her whimsical style brings the story to life and catches the eye of young readers.
As an added bonus, and unique to picture books, the final pages include tips for parents and teachers to engage children in reading and writing using Sled Ride Down Unrue Street. While enjoying the story, parents and teachers can engage children in a way that helps them become better readers and writers.
P.S. Any snowy hillside can be your Unrue Street. Just hop on your sled and enjoy the ride!
