The Enchanted Sled

By Wahl, Jan & Felix, Monique

Publishers Summary:
On my rusty sled I go / into whirling lands of snow . . . Like building a jolly snowman or skating on an icy pond, riding a sled down a hill of freshly fallen snow is a classic childhood joy of winter. In The Enchanted Sled, author Jan Wahl captures the excitement and wonder of a midwinter sled ride as seen through the vivid and fanciful imagination of a young child. The beautiful and magical illustrations of Monique Felix allow readers to follow a young girl as she transforms into a queen, observes colorful soldiers in formation, visits a Gypsy camp-and goes wherever her lucid imagination decides to take her. The dreamlike quality of the illustrations, rendered in soft, flowing colors, may very well have starry-eyed readers wishing for their own magical sled and are sure to make The Enchanted Sled a favorite of readers both young and old for many winters to come. Since publishing his first book, Pleasant Fieldmouse, Jan Wahl has written more than 100 books for children, including Christmas Present and the acclaimed I Met a Dinosaur. His picture books have won a number of awards, including the Youth Critics Prize at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. Swiss artist Monique Felix studied graphic arts at l'Ecole des Arts Appliques in Lausanne. She has illustrated more than 40 children's books-including Creative Editions' Mouse Books series, Tuba Lessons, Hundreds of Fish, Hansel and Gretel, and My Shadow-and received such honors as the Octogone Prize from the International Center of Children's Literature. Monique Felix is the creator of the very popular Mouse Books series, also available from Creative Editions.
