Ice Breaking: The Adventures of Clementine the Rescue Dog

Rate this book
Join Clementine on a Winter Adventure in the Great Outdoors! Clementine and her two boys set out for adventure on a snowy morning, mittens and imaginations in tow, and discover, among the many wonders revealed during a day outside, the miracles of cascading ice falls, a warren of rabbits, and golden fish in a frozen pond. When they return home, their imaginations are warm as a fireside! " Ice Breaking brims with lively, engaging illustrations. I love a children's book with real art. Many modern children's books take shortcuts, but Icebreaking is a book to keep on the coffee table to enjoy again and again."
-- Markee Travis, Delta County librarian and artist "Clementine the Rescue Dog steals the show from the humans during their fun romp, and she shows them how to climb the snowy banks of their imaginations. They delight, and you will enjoy their marvelous adventure!""
-- Steve Rabey, author of Star Struck and other books "I love the softness portrayed in the illustrations. Clementine is incredibly expressive. The simple escapades of the children are enchanting and full of joy. What a pleasure to immerse ourselves in their play!"
-- Carol McDermott, poet, teacher and school board member "I am delighted to see Barbara Torke's humorous and expressive illustrations enhance the story of Clementine and her boys. The furry friends come alive in Barbara's creative winter becomes welcoming and bright!"

It was finally good weather for Conrad and Coover to head out and play in the snow. Luckily for them, they had Clementine.

Clementine was a rescue dog. He was very reliable and trustworthy. The two boys were fortunate to have her as she was able to help keep them safe. She knew what to look for in the snow.

As you can see this book is about a rescue dog. The sad part, I received this book to review during the spring months. The good part, I cannot wait for winter to come around again. This book is amazing. The story of fun to read and the illustrations are gorgeous. I will say this is the perfect addition toward a unit study. This book helps show the kids more about the role of how nature and animals can work together. An overall fun read for kids.

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion. All reviews are mine and were in no way influenced by outside sources. I am a professional blogger at Little Lady Plays
