About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K-- Katya, an endearing waif, and her best friend, Brown, an equally engaging burly bear, live in a great forest where it is always summer. Every night the two friends dance with wild abandon until they are exhausted. When Jack Frost envelopes the forest with snowy winter, Katya outsmarts the fearsome intruder with her dancing skills and reclaims her enchanted land. Riddell's spare text and detailed drawings capture the characters and action of his story, most notably the fiendishly spirited child dancing the "stomping, shouting, growling, thumping, stamping, jumping-in-the-air Bear Dance!" Jack Frost is a wonderfully spiky creation of sepia scratches on white with faint touches of icy blue. Preschoolers will tap their toes and be ready to step out after this one. --Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NB
