Snowmen at Nigh By Caralyn Buehner


This is about a kid who builds a snowman, and notices it has changed overnight. He then imagines all the things that snowmen do overnight, like have iced cold coco, snowball fights and sled down the hill. The illustrations in this story are very animated and the text is graphically designed to add to the fun. "Then the snowman games begin: They line up in their places,/ each one anxious for his turn in the snowman races." The imaginative description and lively art could provide an entertaining read-aloud for bedtime sharing or winter story times. It would also be great for teaching prediction because children could draw their own idea of what snowmen do at night and write a caption.
