I chose to read this book because
it’s about a snowy Christmas, and that never happens around here. This story
quickly became one of my favorites. I had no idea what the plot would be, and I
was really surprised to find out that it was nothing like I thought it might
be. The story was based around snowmen’s Christmas Eve. The snowmen are like one big family. They
leave their homes and get together for their own Christmas party on the town
square. It was really cute how they danced together, and they even had their
very own snowman Santa Claus. The story ends with the snowmen going back to
their homes and bringing smiles to the kids on the snowy Christmas day.
The illustration in this book is
beautiful. The pictures are top to bottom of every page throughout the entire
book. This is one on of my favorite picture books that I have seen. The images
are so fascinating.
This book could be used during a
poetry lesson as a read aloud. It could also be a guide for students to use
their imagination in writing. An appropriate time to use this book would be
near the holidays. Any age elementary would enjoy it. This could also be taken
so far as to explaining what snow is and how it is formed in a science lesson.
There are no awards currently to this books name.
