Book Reviews of Roller Coaster
Book Review: Delightful Story for Young Kids
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very nice story with humorous illustrations. It's ideal for the 3-6 crowd and my son used to love following the intricate drawings of the roller coaster tracks with his finger. The pictures have a lot of amusing detail (sort of like Goodnight Gorilla where there's almost a backstory told in the pictures) and we used to play a game where we'd try to find some of the sillier people standing in line. The story itself is entertaining (even if not inspiring) and it's the type of book you'll likely read over and over again--and won't mind doing so.
Summary of Roller Coaster
Clickity, clackity.
Clickity, clackity.
The roller coaster car is going up, up, up to the highest spot. And at least one of the people in the car has never ridden on a roller coaster before . . . ever. Wheeeeeeee!
Clickity, clackity.
The roller coaster car is going up, up, up to the highest spot. And at least one of the people in the car has never ridden on a roller coaster before . . . ever. Wheeeeeeee!
All sorts of people ride roller coasters, people over a certain height that is. Marla Frazee zooms in on one pony-tailed girl who has never experienced a roller coaster before, ever, in this start-to-finish ride. The anticipation builds much like it does in real-life: "S-l-o-w-l-y the train is pulled up the hill by a chain. Clickity, clackity. Clickity, clackity. Up. Up. Up. And then..." As the train zips and zooms and dips and dives, the pony-tailed girl in the very front seat loves every minute, or almost. In the end, "Most of these people are dizzy./ Some of them have wobbly knees./ But at least one of them is planning/ to ride the roller coaster again." Frazee's crisply detailed watercolor drawings of waiting people, happy people, terrified people, and dizzy people are fun to peruse. Youngsters who are Disneyland-bound (or who would just like to be) may be the best audience for this minute-by-minute replay of a roller-coaster ride. (Ages 4 to 7) --Karin Snelson
