A parent might want to glance at the glossary at the back to be ready for questions about snowboarding slang like “shred” or “phat air,” but the story can easily be enjoyed cold. A parent sees their child is fascinated by extreme sports on TV, is about to go on a ski trip, or is feeling a little nervous about trying a new physical activity. The parent wants a book to frame the experience as pure, exhilarating fun.
A 4-year-old will delight in the hilarious concept and the bright, dynamic illustrations of huge rhinos on tiny boards. A 7-year-old will connect more with the “cool factor” of the sport, appreciate the action-oriented vocabulary, and use the glossary to understand the lingo.
The book's unique power comes from the hilarious juxtaposition of large, bulky animals performing a graceful and cool extreme sport. Unlike general winter stories, its specific focus on 90s snowboarding culture, complete with a technical glossary, makes it both a funny narrative and a novel introduction to a sports subculture for young children.
