Skating Wild on an Inland Sea

nLet's go! Experience the magic of skating on wild ice.n nTwo children wake up to hear the lake singing, then the wind begins wailing ... or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into the cold, carrying their skates. On the snow-covered shore, they spot tracks made by fox, deer, hare, mink, otter ... and the wolf! In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. They lace up their skates, step onto the ice, stroking and gliding, and the great lake sings again.n nIn her signature poetic style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart's breathtaking illustrations, this book will make us all long to skate wild!n n n nKey Text Featuresn nillustrationsn n n nCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: n nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3n nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.n
