This book is gorgeous! I was attracted to read it by its big beautiful cover with sparkly white lettering and sparkly white snowflakes falling all around a single puppy. The cover is beautiful enough to frame and hang up in a child's room!

The story, with fantastic illustrations, is about a puppy who goes out into the snow to play. Suddenly his siblings are gone, and he finds himself alone in the snow. The puppy named Ollie encounters an owl, some baby foxes, and a mouse in his attempts to find his way home, but eventually it is his mother's voice he hears which brings him home.

This is a lovely story. An especially good time to share it with a young child might be on a cold, winter's night when the reader and the child can snuggle up together.… (mais)
