Snow Bunny and her animal friends enjoy an active winter romp of sledding, skating, and more until one by one the animals head for home. "I'm c-c-c-cold," Fox explains, leading Snow Bunny to knit her chilly pals warm woolen attire as Christmas gifts. The sentimental tale, appealingly illustrated with glittery forest landscapes and cozy habitats, unsubtly reinforces lessons of generosity and friendship.

Snow Bunny's wish to have a friend comes true after she follows the North Star to Santa's house to deliver her letter. She generously shares her mittens, frosted cookies, and map with needy animals en route. Wintery blue illustrations heavily accented with luminescent silver may enchant young children, but the artistic effect conveys the book's holiday-greeting-card sentimentality.
