Hans Brinker; Or, The Silver Skates
Mary Mapes Dodge
The silver skates will go to the fastest on the canal, but Hans Brinker is racing for something colder: his father's lost memory and the family's lost years. Mary Mapes Dodge threads the great race, the man with four heads, and voices at Haarlem into her beloved portrait of Holland. Ice, courage, and one very good pair of wooden skates. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
