opened the front door to check the weather.
It was official: hockey season had arrived. "
As he has done in six previous adventures, Nicholas Oldland offers up laughs for and friendship between Moose, Bear and Beaver. Their hockey story begins when Beaver heads down to the lake for a morning dip. Obviously, he is not aware of how late in the season it is. Preparations done, and ready for a restorative swim, he dives in. And, lands on ice.
Home he goes with high hopes ... hockey season is upon them. He encourages his friends to lace up, get their sticks and head back to the lake with him. Jumping onto the ice lands the three in bitterly cold water when they break through the not-yet-thick-enough ice surface. Next day, though better prepared, the result is the same ... too thin.
The wait begins. Numerous activities result in boredom, too much food, and inactivity. When the weather finally turns and snow begins to fall, they are READY! Or, are they? There's work to be done to get back in shape. Then, it's hockey, hockey, hockey. It's just what any true Canadian would be doing when there is a lake at hand, and a burning desire to be out on the ice for hours on end. Bravo!
Fans will welcome their friends back with open arms. Chuckles accompany every reading. Who doesn't want to read a book about friendship, perseverance, and HOCKEY? Visual humor, expressive characters, and lots of action invite careful observation and provide a story that every hockey fan will want to share.
