Ashman, Linda

Samantha on a Roll

40 pp. | Farrar/Ferguson | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-36399-4 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. Samantha tries out her new roller skates, at first gingerly, then more confidently, then too confidently, skating out the door. She hurtles down a hill, disrupting activities and gathering up objects as she goes. Davenier's effervescent pencil and watercolor illustrations are a match for Ashman's engaging light-as-air verse, propelling the action forward and conveying the madcap quality of the chaos.
