Snow Bear and the Magic Book One blustering winters night, when the trees folded over in a stormy gale A young hare struggling to make her way, tripped on a tree root and fell forwards into a hole Down and down she tumbled, into a dusty place of lost and ancient things She landed with a bump on a large old book covered in moss and twine Ever so slowly she opened the heavy cover and the pages began to flutter Millions of tiny glowing stars burst from the book throwing back her long velvet ears As she blinked her eyes against the brightest of golden lights spinning all around her She could just make out the shape of a huge Snowbear walking towards her through the swirling light He appeared like a glittering wish, a sweet dream half remembered Sparkling frosted light and snowflakes fluttered behind him as he approached His fur was the crispest white of snowy mountains and streaks of gold shimmed from within his skin He looked at her with kind chestnut eyes that twinkled with honey gold flecks €œI am the guardian of the book€ he softly spoke, €œwhat do you seek little one€? Shyly she lowered her eyes and shuffled her feet, €œI wish for a friend€ she whispered His face broke into a glittering smile, €œI have such wonderous sights to show you€ She took his paw which was wonderfully warm and gentle, and they flew into the book Snowflakes and golden letters spun wildly past them as they tumbled through the pages Out they burst under a dark velvet starry sky, floating down landing with a soft crunch on the snow Little Hare gasped as she looked around at the beautiful world she found herself in There were snow covered mountains and lakes, forests and ice castles in the distance €œShall we take a ride€? asked Snowbear, scooping her up onto his glittering furry back €œWoohoo!€ she cried as he took off from the ground and flew high, he actually flew! They soared over the gleaming frozen lake and waved at penguins and sealions As they swished through the tree tops she reached out and felt the tickle of the pine needles on her paw She felt such warmth in her heart, she was on an adventure and she had her very own Snowbear!
