Description

Mario and his brothers loved hockey. They played every day on their front-yard rink, until one day the snow was coming down so hard that the rink was completely buried. They shovelled and shovelled, but the snow kept coming. What could they do? Then Mario’s mom had an idea: Why not build an ice rink in the living room?

Ideal for young hockey fans and future stars, this level-2 I Can Read book is perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.
