red sled by Lita Judge

Your preschooler will love the illustrations and sound effects—the only words in the book—that tell this adorable tale of woodland creatures and their antics with a borrowed red sled. With plenty of Hrmmmms, Gadungs, Wheeees, and Fluoomp….fts to help you get into the spirit of the action, this book will have you and your little one wishing you could join in on the fun!
The simple plot and fun watercolor illustrations make this book a perfect choice for the youngest preschoolers. After just a few “reads,” your little one will be Yeeeeeeeeoooeeing right along with the animals on every single page of this sweet nighttime adventure.
