Oliver and Emily Boxwood are thrilled to wake up on a snow-down-your-neck day, a play-till-your-toes-are froze day! After school is canceled, they set off to Windy Hill to try out Oliver's new red toboggan. With youthful enthusiasm and single-minded focus, the bunnies are oblivious to the fact that many animals' homes were damaged in the storm.

Oliver has a hard time sharing his prized sled, and Emily grumpily retaliates, pelting him with snowballs from her frozen fortress. At lunch, their mother's gentle reminder that sharing is a special pleasure…Giving makes for twice the treasure…. sinks in and they rise to the occasion by assisting the squirrels to rebuild their home.
