"My cave is big enough for two!" a bear declares to a rabbit, inviting
his small friend to share his den through the longest, coldest season.
The rabbit readily accepts the bear's offer, but no sooner have the two
curled up than the lively rabbit jumps up to wonder: Wouldn't it be
better to be out in the crisp winter air, free to leap through the
starlight and the sparkling snow?
In this paperback reissue of a long out-of-print winter tale (originally
titled A Starlit Somersault Downhill), Caldecott Medal winner Jerry
Pinkney's rich watercolors create a cozy winter world that perfectly
complements Newbery Medal winner Nancy Willard's charming poetry.
