The first snow has fallen.

The mice children go sledding

with Grandma and Grandpa.

But at the top of the hill,

who will go first?

Bitty, the smallest mouse,

is scared.

When she tries, WHEEEEEE, she finds that sledding is the best!

Caldecott Medalist Emily Arnold McCully captured the chills and thrills of a first sled ride when first snow was published in 1985. She has added words and created new pictures for this handsome larger edition, a companion to picnic.
