Snowmen

There is a great little series of books out right now all about snowmen.  The first book by the husband and wife team Caralyn and Mark Buehner was Snowmen at Night. It was a rhyming book all about what your snowman does at night and why in the morning he looks slouched and droopy.  It plays right to the imaginations of a child, turning the snowman into life, giving him friends and family.  The Buehners decided not to stop at what snowmen do at night but now they have Snowmen All Year, Snowmen at Work, Snowmen at Play and the one I want to share with you today, Snowmen at Christmas. 

This is the perfect book for any child with a wild imagination.  In this story the snowmen come alive on Christmas Eve.  They all gather in the town square to decorate for Christmas.  The snowmen, snowwomen and snowchildren all enjoy "cold" treats like ice cream and snow cones.  They even get a visit from snowman Kris Kringle! It is so fun to see and hear what the snowmen are up to for the holidays!  It is the perfect book to inspire some Christmas and winter writing.  So if you are lucky enough to get a white Christmas bundle up in the cold to make a snowman with your kids then as a family write about all the adventures your snowman will have that night while you are all sleeping!

Then come inside from some hot cocoa and snowman marshmallow treats! YUM!

Happy Reading!
