A Whisper in the Snow

K-Gr 3—Deep in the woods, a trio of rabbits—Kip, Wally, and Agnes—and their twin mice friends Bella and Bob hear a whisper coming from a snow bank and uncover a lost bear calling for help. They soon discover a shabby teddy bear and decide they will nurse him back to health at the house of their friend Arthur, who happens to be a real bear. An old vest, a button eye, a jingle bell, a safety pin, a ribbon, and a lot of love are all that it takes to bring the teddy bear back to life. But, will this lost teddy make it home in time for Christmas? With a little help from the birds, the animals are able to find the girl who lost her teddy and safely reunite bear with owner just in time for Christmas. This sweet story, told entirely through the humorous dialogue among the animals, is the latest collaboration from the author/illustrator team behind The Message of the Birds. The enchanting illustrations pair perfectly with the book's messages of hope, persistence, and finding your way home.
