GRANDPA DAN'S TOBOGGAN RIDE Reid, Suzan Illustrated by Eugenic Fernandes Richmond Hill (Ont.), Scholastic Canada, 1992. 32pp, paper, $4.95, ISBN 0-590-74060-1. CIP Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3/ Ages 4 to 8 Reviewed by Jane Smith Volume 21 Number 1 1993 January Nicki begs for just one more toboggan ride, but Grandpa Dan is freezing, grumpy and wants to go home. Reluctantly, he bends over to give her a push, steps on his extra-long scarf, slips, and lands on the back of the extra-long toboggan with Nicki on his lap. The ride of a lifetime begins! Grandpa Dan can't see and can't steer the "confounded contraption" as they zoom down the hill and through the town. Astonished passengers are gathered along the way as they race toward the hilarious climax at the bottom of the hill. This is Suzan Reid's first book and hopefully not her last. Eugenic Fernandes' colourful, energetic illustrations capture the havoc and humour of this delightful adventure. Highly recommended. Jane Smith is a former Primary teacher in North York, Ontario
