The lovable Life in the Wild trio can't wait to get out on the ice to  play hockey. Except, well, they're going to have to! It's wintertime,  and the bear, the moose and the beaver can't wait for hockey season to  start. They're so eager, in fact, they head out onto the ice before it's  thick enough, and they all fall through. Twice. While they wait for the  lake to freeze, they try to take their minds off hockey. There's  competitive napping. Karaoke. Lots of comfort food. Until, at last, the  day arrives when the ice is ready. But, after all that time not being  active, are they ready?

Part of the bestselling Life in the Wild picture  book series from Nicholas Oldland, this funny romp is, at its heart, a  love letter to the sport of hockey and the joys of playing in the wild  outdoors. Oldland's distinctive dry humor shines here, making this a fun  read-aloud. But the hilarious visual story --- including the  character's facial expressions and numerous asides --- mean children,  even nonreaders, will also want to spend time with the pages on their  own.
