Rabbit Davy knows what impresses Santa: helping one another, being kind, and sharing. After Davy divides his family's winter food supplies among some hungry woodland animals, the rabbits scrimp by until Christmas Eve--when Davy's friends arrive with food that will sustain them and provide a bountiful harvest next summer. Expressive charcoal line and watercolor pictures illustrate this satisfying story.

Nancy, a little gosling, does not want to learn to swim and is constantly distracted from her lessons by her interest in elusive butterflies. Finally she invents a form of lily-pad surfing that allows her a close-up view. The predictable story is sweet, and the watercolor and pencil illustrations are lush and engaging.
