Synopses & Reviews
Chirri and Chirra travel into the heart of an icy palace, where they discover all sorts of creatures, sights, and foods!
In book three in the charming Chirri and Chirra series, we have foxes, bears, birds, goats, and cats all taking shelter together in an icy cavern, enjoying everything from freshly-baked delights to long soaks in hot springs. Over the course of their adventures, Chirri and Chirra even become guests to a family of bears, spending the night in their igloo and dreaming of the northern lights. A winter wonderland worth remembering for its soft radiance and abundant joy!
