Sommario/riassunto

Young Bunny Brown and his little sister Sue love to make snowmen, throw snowballs and ride sleds, but when the chance arises to escape the winter weather and explore the South, the Brown children are more than enthusiastic. They visit Georgia and Florida and learn all they can about the uniquely charming Land of Dixie.
