This winter wonderland title features Ash and Pudd, a pair of tiny, human-like creatures (smaller than the small woodland birds and squirrels) who spend their time keeping the animals warm by making hats and scarves for them. Their warm winter wear distribution adventure results in a startling discovery of a huge snowman who, they decide, can also use their kind help. Large on demonstrating kindness and friendship, this tale focuses on helping everyone, no matter an old friend or someone new.
