Picture this: a crisp winter morning, fresh powder on the ground, and Mr. Magee and his trusty dog Dee setting out to conquer the slopes. What could possibly go wrong? Well, when a curious moose gets involved, everything goes hilariously sideways—literally. This third adventure in Chris Van Dusen’s beloved Mr. Magee series delivers all the charm, laughter, and heart that young readers have come to adore.

  • Playful, bouncing rhymes that make read-aloud time an absolute joy
  • Vibrant, detailed illustrations brimming with personality and humor
  • A gentle lesson about resilience wrapped in pure entertainment
  • Perfect for emergent readers tackling their first chapter books

Van Dusen’s signature illustration style brings the snowy landscape to life with such warmth and whimsy that you can almost feel the cold air and hear Dee’s excited barks. The story moves at a delightful pace—one moment our heroes are peacefully gliding down the mountain, the next they’re dangling above an abyss wondering how on earth they’ll get down.

This is the kind of book that becomes a household favorite, requested again and again until everyone knows the rhymes by heart. Whether you’re curled up by the fire on a snowy afternoon or looking for the perfect addition to your early reader’s library, Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee delivers adventure, giggles, and that cozy feeling of a story well told.
