Illustrated by
Loretta Krupinski.
A young rabbit asks, "Mama, what is snow?" Mother's response is a series of lyrical names for snow, including "wings of white butterflies" and "lace when it lines the limbs of the lilacs." The softly colored illustrations evoking winter landscapes, as well as the text-page border images of bunnies at play, have more appeal than the self-conscious, if gentle, text.
