A sweet and simple story about going on vacation, featuring Bobble and Pom Pom and their friends Bunny and Bird.

Bobble and Pom Pom are going on vacation! Their suitcase is packed and they set off down the mountain, where the weather’s warm and the sun is shining. They even get an ice cream but it starts to melt and, oh no! Bobble starts to melt too! Maybe the snowy mountain was the best place for a vacation all along.

This is a lovely story about friendship and adventure, and the snowy setting makes for a wonderful seasonal gift, year after year.
