Nancy Carlson

A brave little pup learns a lesson about fear and new experiences when she braves the roller coaster in this charming picture book.

 Hang on—Harriet’s on her way up! . . . 

 For days, George has been taunting Harriet about the roller coaster at the amusement park. “It’s so big, you can’t see the top . . .It goes so fast, you might fall out . . . You’ll be too scared to ride on it.” 

 “I am NOT scared,” Harriet tells him. 

 But that night she doesn’t sleep very well. And the next morning, when it is time to go, she feels a little sick. Children are certain to recognize Harriet’s terror and cheer her spunk. And while she conquers her fear, Harriet will conquer her readers’ hearts as well. 

Praise for Harriet and the Roller Coaster

“Carlson’s winning, childlike illustrations use minimal line work to evoke her characters’ extreme emotions. . . . More expansive elements, such as the loop-de-loop of the roller coaster, are also drawn with understated flair. Children will be encouraged to brave new adventures, even if they're scared, and learn not to be swayed by those who claim they’re not.” —Booklist

Harriet and the Roller Coaster

A young bunny and his friend come up with a creative and humorous way to deal with a bully in this charming picture book.

 The first day of school can be scary enough as it is without a bully stealing your lunch! And that’s just what happens to poor George when he runs into Big Mike, the sixth-grade bully, on the walk to school. Every day George is tormented—not to mention hungry—and too afraid to tell anyone, until his good friend Harriet steps in and helps George give Big Mike a taste of his own medicine.

“The text crackles with verbs and vernacular, while bright full-color illustrations on every page extend the broad humor with amusing detail.” —The Horn Book Magazine 

 “Carlson’s illustrations, engaging watercolor paintings of human-sized animal characters, flesh out the text and endow the animals with distinct personalities.” —Booklist
