Ice Skating School

Lavender endpapers and soft-focus photos of little girls in pastel-coloured cardies set the tone for this atmospheric guide to ice skating. Actually boys are included too in the class of young beginners, and we see them being coached through their first steps, spins, glides, jumps and even falls as they work towards a show. A couple of older children provide role models, demonstrating their pairs skating routine and practice. A gentle introduction for beginners hovering at the edge of the rink, you would need to look elsewhere for more detailed information on the sport.
