The Greatest Skating Race: A World War II Story from the Netherlands
Review Date: 11/16/2011


The Greatest Skating Race successfully juxtaposes heartfelt illustrations and melodic text against relatable characters who contend with the tensions of WWII German occupation. The author's creative and authentic use of a skating story as the story's backbone manages to send warm sentiments and icy shivers up readers' spines. Niki Daly's illustrations perfectly convey each word's mood.

Youngsters will enjoy transforming simple shapes into their favorite animal.

Reproducible paper plate animal patterns for youth in grades 1-2. Useful in the classroom, home, parties and at learning fairs. An inexpensive way to build artistic skills, dexterity, and imaginative play while teaching youth to follow directions.

The 14 patterns include deer, porcupine, snail, beaver, elephant, kangaroo, ladybug, fish, walrus, swan, hermit crab, lion, monkey, crab, swan. The kangaroo even has a pouch and a baby.
