Description
A winter tale for young children by Howard R. Garis fills this 1914 book. Hal Blake and his sister Mabel, called Mab, walk home from school with red noses in the cold. Their father, Daddy Blake, can tell them everything, or so Hal stoutly claims.
Skating is the sport at the heart of the book. Daddy takes the pair out on the ice and answers their questions as they go. Ice fishing comes in too, with lines set so a bell rings when a fish bites. Garis wrote many such Daddy books. The tale is short, warm, and built to teach small facts about winter while it entertains.
