The Red Sledge by Mick Jackson
Mabel Taylor has a new red sledge. Just look at it! It has a rope for pulling it round and a shiny bottom to make it go extra-fast... When Mabel Taylor receives a shiny red sledge for Christmas, she can't wait to try it out! But ... oh. No snow. No snow at all. And there's no snow the next day, either ... or the next. So, instead, Mabel imagines herself on the most extraordinary of adventures, becoming a bobsleigh champion, a polar explorer, and even Father Christmas! And just when she’s stopped waiting and watching for the snow to fall, her world is transformed by a thick blanket of brilliant white… Brimming over with the joy of imaginary and outdoor play, this is a timeless winter storybook penned by a Booker-shortlisted writer.If you’re on the hunt for a delightful winter story, look no further.. This timeless story celebrates the power of children’s imagination and their resourcefulness. It reminds us that even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, children can turn any situation into a grand adventure. * Preneur World *
I like this story and how it shows the power of imagination children can have when it comes to playing with their toys. * The Strawberry Post *
