I am such a sucker for a beautifully written rhyme! I couldn't read this book in my head, I had to read it out loud because the rhyming was so great. And the story was cute, too. Mr. Magee and his dog, Dee, have some skiing mishaps but everything turns out okay in the end. I just want to read this at a storytime so bad! ( )

In this story, a goofy Mr. Magee and his dog Dee attempt to ski for the very first time. They start to ski down the mountain and later realize that they're about to run in to a giant moose. Mr. Magee then realizes that being the amateur skier that he is, doesn't know how to ski and has to quickly think on his feet in order to avoid the moose. Mr. Magee thankfully avoids the moose, but get stuck in a different predicament, realizing that he's going to leave skiing to the pros and stick to snowmen and hot cocoa instead. ( )
