A Dot in the Snow

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Fiona Woodcock. Snow-loving polar bear Miki finds a playmate--a girl who first appears to him as "a dot in the snow" (because of her red parka). When the snow obscures their path, a "Mommy Dot" rescues the girl, and Miki goes home to his own mother on the ice. The book's appeal isn't the story, which is rather slight, but the cross-species friendship and Woodcock's lovely, gauzy-white-surfaced illustrations.
