It's a beautiful snowy day and Pip and Posy can't wait to go out and play. They have all sorts of fun, until they decide to build a snowman, when things start to go a little bit pear-shaped. Pip wants a snowRABBIT, but Posy wants a snowMOUSE! An argument erupts and very soon both friends are cold and wet - and very sad. Oh dear! Happily the friends resolve their differences over a cosy craft session indoors.
