In a gentle story of patience, young mouse Penny (Penny and Her Marble, et al.) has a new sled, but it seems as if "it would never snow." Eventually, Penny uses her imagination and turns the sled into a bridge, a house, and more. In a Henkes-esque twist, it never does snow; Penny's waiting is rewarded with a different type of snow in spring. Colorful illustrations sing with emotion and movement, extending the simple beginning reader text.
