K-Gr 2-Pearl can't wait to try out her new birthday skates, but she slips and topples head over heels every time she attempts to stand up on them. At first, the young rabbit wants to give up. However, after a bit of gentle encouragement from Uncle Jack and through her own persistence, she eventually achieves success. Attractive pastel watercolors show an exuberant Pearl as she dreams of twirling on the ice, yet, a few pages later, readers find a shocked bunny who has fallen flat on her face. Using simple lines, Keller manages to give her characters a great deal of expression. Youngsters will empathize with Pearl's initial disappointment and rejoice in her eventual success. Pair this book with Katharine Holabird's Angelina Ice Skates (Pleasant Co., 2001) for a skating-themed storytime.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
