Publisher Description
In the icy-cold heart of winter, a little snow bear wanders through the snow. As the wind whips past him, ruffling his fur, he searches for a home.
But where can he go? Each warm place has been claimed, and there is no room for a bear, no matter how little. Suddenly he sees a flickering of light, orange and bright against the snowy ground. A house!
As Snow Bear pushes open the creaking door, he feels warmth spread over him. There's a girl by the window, and, somehow, deep down, Snow Bear knows that he is home.
A heartwarming, wintry read, perfect for fans of Guess How Much I Love You?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A tiny white bear searches for a home in a snowy woodland. An owl and a fox turn him away, but a girl in a farmhouse illuminated by firelight happily welcomes him: "The girl takes the bear in her cuddly lap,/ and they both snuggle down for a midwinter nap." In addition to Clement Clarke Moore, there's also an echo of Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" in some of Mitton's rhymes ("Behind him his prints trace a long, weary line,/ but ahead the snow's waiting, unbroken and fine"). Brown contrasts warm and cold tones in her colored pencil and acrylic art; the cozy conclusion should hit the sweet spot for a snowy evening read. Ages 3 6.
