Who doesn't love a snowy day? Well . . . lots of people. But not little ones! Purple pie press is especially pleased to present its new literary romp through the chilliest of seasons by award-winning author, Julie Krantz. Chock-full of poems about everything from snow to cold, feathers, feet and fur, Ms. Krantz's latest offering is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike. Comprised of eighteen delightful poems and illustrations, SLEDDING DOWN THE HILL handily introduces even the youngest readers to the time-honored conventions of poetic form and function. Teachers and librarians will be especially pleased with this winning collection's facile way of amusing and informing children even while it introduces them to the basics of meter, rhyme, image and metaphor.

Milne through to contemporary greats like Joyce Sidman, Shel Silverstein, and Jack Prelutsky, Ms. Krantz's poetry is sure to surprise and delight even the most reluctant of readers.
