Do Teddy Bears Ski?

by Carol Russell (Illustrator), Rick Sanger

This colorful book makes a great gift for a favorite young skier! (ages 4-6) Written in easy verse and filled with whimsical images, it is both appealing and informative. Rick Sanger, a certified ski instructor, has created a book that parents can read to their young ones before a frozen flake ever hit their noses. It also makes a great souvenir for a beginning skier. Ski instructors universally applaud this book. It captures the fascination of kids through the images of skiing tigers, mice, giraffes, and even crabs! But in the ear-catching rhymes are important messages that tell what skiing is all about. Mike Iman, President of the Professional Ski Instructors of America has endorsed the book: A fun book! Outstanding for bringing the flavor of skiing and snow-boarding to children that are new to the winter environment. At the back of the book is a section especially for parents: Taking Kids Skiing: Hints for a Great Trip. Here, Rick describes the kind of preparation and equipment that will take the kinks out of a first ski adventure.
