The old fashioned feel of this book is so evident just by looking at the front cover. The illustrations are beautiful and remind me of books I read growing up. Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and Their New Skates is a sweet book about 3 sisters who get new ice skates for Christmas. On their first outing they meet a boy who accidently falls through the ice. Lucky for him the girls were there to help him out.
Early one Christmas morning in Sweden, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka opened their eyes. Soon they would have their Christmas gifts! For the first time in over thirty years, this classic holiday tale returns, in a deluxe hardcover edition. Longtime fans of the series will delight in revisiting the story, and new readers will find fun and excitement as the girls must save their friend Bertie after an ice-skating disaster.
The 3 girls each have their own paper doll with clothes and babies. My favorite part of the book by far is the illustration. Growing up with my grandparents I remember reading old books and this reminds me of that time. The message is pure and good and the writing is perfect to read aloud to your children.
Written by Maj Lindman and retailing for $14.99 Flicka, Ricka, Dicka, and Their New Skateswould be a perfect addition to your Christmas giving list. You ca purchase Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and Their New Skates: Updated Edition with Paperdolls
