Comments: I enjoyed reading this nostalgic picture book. Growing up in Tucson, there was very rarely snow. But I still vividly remember the days when my family and I would drive up Mt. Lemon in the winter, and we could have our own wonderful snowman adventures. This story will most definitely encourage children to build a snowman, and look forward to playing in the snow whenever they next get the oppurtunity. ( )

Great story; great art ( )

The little narrator is thrilled that it has snowed overnight, and plans the perfect snowman...but plans don't work out quite as expected. Still, the kid loves the imperfect, off-kilter snowman, and calls for Mom to "take a picture of me and my best snowman yet!"

An absolute delight, with bold, clean colors.
