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:

A hidden gem with a classic feel. The illustrations are detailed and cozy, and the story is all about loyalty, courage, and the special bond between a boy and his dog. It makes a great summer read-aloud, especially if your kids enjoy tales of the sea and gentle adventure.
