Learning a new skill is hard especially for Eric who despite his best efforts can't seem to get the hang of ice-skating. With a little help from Gramps the Zamboni Driver and a little imagination, Eric finds the will to try. A Shadow under the ice turns out to be a wonderful creature which helps the boy not to be scared and learn the skills needed to accomplish his goal by turning it in to a game.
The illustrations were wonderful and the story was delightful. This book would, appeal to any child who is struggling to learn something new because with a little help from their own imaginary Ziggersnout they can accomplish anything.

I got this book from the author Dale Rensing because I wanted to read and review it. So far I have read this book to 2 of my grandsons aged 5 and 6. They enjoyed this story and especially the dragon, Ziggersnout. The story is about a little boy named Eric that has been learning to skate but hasn't been practicing like he should. The book is well written and has a story that would appeal to ages 5-8 years old. It is written about a boy but I think girls would enjoy this as well. There is fun and some good lessons that can be had from this delightful book. My 6 year old grandson was pretty impressed by this book. Both boys have wanted me to read it again. I thought the pictures were done well and helped the story along quite nicely. Very fun read!… (plus d'informations)
