Snow Babies

Twelve sets of baby animals romp through their wintry environs in this cheery board book. Anderson’s captionlike sentences introduce the animals by name, as well as the terms for their young: “Reindeer fawns leap” over a fallen log in a forest lit with golden sunlight that seems to herald spring’s arrival. Elsewhere, “Husky puppies race in the snow,” seal pups snuggle under a purple night sky, and “baby panda cubs snooze” amid snow-dusted bamboo shoots. Anderson’s eminently cuddly cartoons give the book a coziness that belies its chilly settings. Up to age 3. (Oct.)
