Publisher Description: "Click-click-clacking up the track. Sinking lower, peering back. Slowly climbing to the top. Edging closer toward the drop." A timid young boy joins his eager father for a ride on a roller coaster. After zigzagging through the line, the pair boards the DinoCoaster for a fast-paced ride that takes them lurching and tilting upside down, round and round. When the roller coaster finally comes to a stop, the excited young boy is ready for another ride...but his queasy father has other ideas. Diane Adams' simple, rhyming roller coaster adventure will thrill young readers, while artist Kevin Luthardt's highly expressive, comical, full-color illustrations capture the sensations of the rollicking ride. |
