Book Summary
A deep blanket of snow covers the wintery forest! Davy and Mia are unstoppable. They set out with their sled and a cake to visit their grandparents. Grandpa Rabbit tells Davy the story of when he and his brother were lost in the snow, while Grandma Rabbit plays a game with Davy’s sister. Davy and his sister head home with a warm send off of cookies and juice. But when they tumble out of their sled, the way home becomes confusing in the deep snow. Luckily, big brother Davy remembers Grandpa Rabbit’s wise advice—stay in one place, keep warm, help will come soon. And so, cozy and warm, under a large fir tree with glowing branches, Davy and Mia tell stories and sing songs. Until at last—the family tracks down the two snow bunnies. Davy worries that it’s his fault, but his parents praise him for his responsible decisions.
Grateful Reader Review by Dorothy Schwab
A heartfelt story of survival bundled with a helpful, compassionate sibling relationship. The lesson learned while Davy and Mia visit grandparents is relatable for all ages. The story is full of encouraging words from Davy and the helpful lesson learned in the great-snow adventure from Grandpa is key for survival in the winter storm. Author Brigitte Weninger keeps young listeners intrigued as the siblings discover foxfire in the woods and Davy tells the longest enchanted-forest story to entertain his little sister. Eve Tharlet’s enchanting illustrations are the “icing on the cake” for this comforting addition in the endearing Davy series.
