From the Publisher:

From Caldecott Honor–winning author-illustrator Marla Frazee, a thrilling picture book that takes readers up, up, up to the highest point of a roller coaster, where no book has ever gone before! Wheeeeeeee!

This exhilarating amusement park visit begins with a line of prospective riders, eagerly awaiting their turn . . . with at least one person who has never done this before. Zooming, swerving, dipping, and diving, this delightful story featuring a breathtaking ride and a hilarious range of reactions, will help readers lose their roller coaster anxiety. Marla Frazee’s witty narrative and slyly building of tension delivers an experience unlike any other and will have readers begging to take another ride.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one is such a hit with my boys. It’s short, fast-paced, and full of the kind of nervous excitement that makes roller coasters so fun. The illustrations do a great job of showing how different people feel about the ride. A great summer pick, especially if your kids are theme park fans or if they are nervous about their first roller coaster ride.
