An easy-to-read delight about a dog who is determined to rollerskate, just like his hero…only he doesn’t know that practice comes first! The irrepressible Pickle is back, and now he wants to emulate his favorite superhero who makes rescues on Roller Skates. But if you’re going to learn to skate, maybe you shouldn’t try it on a big hill! When Pickle finally learns to skate himself, he can’t wait to share what he learns…until he gets the biggest surprise of all. This humorous tale and adorable art will have kids giggling and reading on their own. Comics-lovers can now share the fun with their kids, students, siblings, and younger friends who are learning to read!
