Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and Their New Skates is a beautifully illustrated book telling the story of three Swedish sisters who receive new ice skates for Christmas and the adventure that follows. My daughter who is 10, read it to my niece who is 3. The story held both girls’ attention for the entire story which surprised me, as both girls tend to have short attention spans. They both enjoyed the illustrations just as much as the story itself and spent as much time exploring each picture as reading the text.
The book also comes with paper dolls and the girls enjoyed playing with these also. We talked about how their Granny (my mom), who grew up in the 1950’s, played with paper dolls when she young. The girls really liked experiencing something their Granny did when she was a kid.
We enjoyed this book very much.
