Twelve Kinds of Ice
by Ellen Obed (Maine author)
Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
available in November 2012
With the first ice—a skim on a sheep pail so thin it breaks when
touched—one family’s winter begins in earnest. Next comes ice like panes
of glass. And eventually, skating ice! Take a literary skate over field
ice and streambed, through sleeping orchards and beyond. The first ice,
the second ice, the third ice . . . perfect ice . . . the last ice . . .
Twelve kinds of ice are carved into twenty nostalgic vignettes,
illustrated in elegantly scratched detail by the award-winning Barbara
McClintock.
