When Lion discovers the joys of the cold, white fluffy stuff he finds in the hills, he wants to share it with his friends back in the jungle, but when he opens his suitcase all he has is a small puddle. Elephant, baboon and the others think he's mad until he persuades them to come and see for themselves what fun it can be playing in the snow. This is a longish picture-storybook (some 40 pages), but the text is very readable and young readers will be amused by Lion's initial ignorance of the properties of snow and the sight of the jungle animals' frozen frolics.
