Just a few poetic words or lines on a page (``My cold skin sings/to the touch of feathery things''--or, an approaching dog: ``bound wallow bound wallow shake shake'')--along with simply drawn illustrations that capture the feel of falling snow and its aftermath with subtle gradations of color and precisely observed light--add up to an unusually evocative celebration of winter's delights.
