Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr were three little boys who lived in Sweden. They had blue eyes and yellow hair, and they looked very much alike.

For spring vacation, they went to the mountains in the far north to ski. There they met a Laplander family that had a reindeer named Prince. The children and Prince had a wonderful time playing in the snow.

One day as Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr were skiing back to their cabin, they became lost in a big snowstorm. And guess who came to the rescue?

Originally published in the United States in 1957, Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and the Reindeer was one of a series of treasured books created by Swedish author-artist Maj Lindman (1886-1972). She also wrote and illustrated stories about three little Swedish girls, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka.

Today's young readers will find the warm, wholesome stories of these busy, independent children immensely satisfying.
