博客來Gina is over-confident when she tries to ski down a difficult trail without the aid of Aunt Francine, an expert skier who is teaching Gina. When Gina falls and one ski comes loose and slides away, she feels desperate. But advice from three helpful animals - each facing physical challenges of its own - shows Gina how adaptation and creative thinking solve problems. She learns determination and perseverance when her first attempts to descend on one ski fail. She feels the satisfaction of success when her efforts lead her to a solution.
Colorful, pleasing and playful illustrations work together with crisp narrative to keep children focused on each page as Gina’s exciting and inspiring adventure moves toward its satisfying conclusion.
Educational articles in the back of the book provide interesting information about wildlife, including bobcats, owls and rabbits, in their natural environment.
