Description
Join the Smushkins as they romp and play in the snow in a new board book that’s poised to be a wintertime favourite.
There are so many things to do in the snow with the Smushkins! Join Puff, Bloo, and Tippi for some sledding (and a surprise encounter with Mr. Moose). Go snowshoeing with Opie (and make an aww-fully cute new friend). Try skiing with Iona (oops! oof!), or maybe try hot-tubbing instead.
Amid a tumble of bright scarves, hats, and gloves, the adorable Smushkins return to frolic in a winter wonderland. With the gentle spirit of Lucy Cousins’s Maisy and the offbeat charm of the Moomins, the Smushkins are sure to delight the youngest of readers.
