One gray day, young Mina uses her crayon to draw snowflakes in the sky. They fall, creating a snow-capped natural world to explore. Her crayon also assists various animals (e.g., a bear stuck in a cave needs a door). The book lacks the impact of its obvious antecedent, Harold and the Purple Crayon, but the wintry scenes dazzle in their large format.
