A Winter's Tail — Susan Meddaugh

Martha and friends must save Skits after he slides onto thin ice during a snow-day hockey game.

Skits is terrified of hockey pucks, but why? Helen recounts the unforgettable snowday hockey game at the root of his fear. Back when Skits was just a pup, he was eager to participate in an outdoor hockey game. But when his enthusiasm got the better of him, he chased a puck straight past the goal line and onto thin ice! It's a good thing that good dog Martha was there to race to the rescue!

Includes a wintry crossword puzzle.
