Sara has a new pair of skates; this calls for a skating party! But Sara seems set for a disappointment - it rains and she can't even skate. Can the other bears save the afternoon?
Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge
The Brinkers are very poor and their children Hans and Gretel want to compete in a race to win some silver skates. Their own skates are wooden, no match for the opposition, but with help from a stranger they are given a chance to win.
