Red Sled by Lita Judge

This is a completely random book review for me. Red Sled is a children's book...but I loved it so I figured I would share. So, if you're looking for a great children's book for the holiday/season, I recommend checking this one out!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I picked this book on sort of a whim. I figured it wouldn't hurt to pick it up and if I didn't completely love it, give it away to one of my siblings (who have kids, which I do not). Red Sled seemed like a good pick for the winter (and ski/sledding seasons approaching). It is about a boy, his sled and the animals that steal the sled at night to use it.

The day Red Sled arrived, I instantly sat down and read/looked through it. I loved it from the first line and the pictures! I instantly knew that none of my siblings were going to be getting receiving a my copy of this book. I left it lying on the table for my husband to check out when he got home. He also loved it after reading through it and the "scrunch scrinch" of the first words had him giggling. I couldn't just go out and write a review for this even with the two of us loving it. I wanted to test it on a kid.

Luckily, Thanksgiving was Thursday and I knew there would be a houseful of kids at my parents so into the bag Red Sled goes for a test run with the nephews and nieces. My siblings and their kids (well, those kids that had the attention span to pay attention) really liked or loved this book. The images are simple but cute and combined with the simple words, my siblings thought it would be perfect for younger kids either just learning to read or those that can't read but like to look at the pictures.

My family and I really enjoyed flipping through this cute and simple story. 5 Stars!
