The first snowflakes have barely hit the ground when many parents and children are ready to hit the slopes to go skiing. They enjoy the brisk winter air, the sparkling snow, and most of all the exercise. Learning Skiing is written for children just beginning to ski, and of course their parents, anxious to support their child's enthusiasm. The little snowman and his friend, the tiger Skitty, offer comprehensible and humorous guidance for children's first attempts on skis, to successfully skiing downhill. A number of exercises safely lead to success one step at a time. In addition the children learn interesting facts about winter sports, snow, equipment, a healthy lifestyle, and safety precautions. The many opportunities for coloring in, checking off, and filling out motivate and inspire children to become actively involved.
