# Penny and Her Sled: A Winter and Holiday Book for Kids - Hardcover

by **Kevin Henkes** (Author), **Kevin Henkes** (Illustrator)

**"A gentle story of patience."--_Horn Book_ (starred review)**

**Caldecott Medal-winner Kevin Henkes's award-winning and bestselling mouse, Penny, stars in an irresistible story about anticipation, disappointment, and a brand-new sled. Told in five short chapters, _Penny and Her Sled_ is perfect for reading alone, reading aloud, and sharing together.**

When Penny, a sweet and curious mouse, gets a new sled, she can't wait to use it. But there's one big problem--there's no snow!

Patiently, Penny waits and watches for the snow to appear. She puts on her scarf and hat. She sleeps with her mittens. Maybe if she's ready, the snow will finally come. But day after day, the snow does not arrive. Finally, Penny decides she will use her sled for other things--it's too wonderful not to!

With a little imagination, the sled becomes a bridge for her glass animals to cross. It becomes a bed for her doll, Rose. It becomes a magic carpet that takes Penny and Rose on adventures all around the world.

And as Penny waits for a snowfall that may never appear, she learns all about the power of patience, imagination, play . . . and spring! Told in five short chapters, and with an emphasis on family and patience, _Penny and Her Sled_ is the perfect choice for emergent readers and for family sharing.

### Back Jacket

When Penny looked out her bedroom window, she didn't see any snow.

Penny really wanted to use her new red sled. Penny wished for snow every day. It was cold, the sky was gray, but where was the snow?

Days went by. Weeks passed. Penny hoped . . . but no snow. Would the snow ever arrive?
