Have you ever built a snowman and come back the next day to find that things are slightly different than the way you left it? What do snowmen do when people aren’t around?
After a heavy snow on Halloween day, children in the village make snowmen and dress them up in costumes! After all the children go to bed the snowmen have their own Halloween celebration complete with apple bobbing, games, costumes, face-painting, fortune telling, and more. Story-telling, and snow angels are part of the party as well as a costume parade. But when it warms up overnight, what surprise do the snowmen leave for the children the next morning?
The team of Caralyn and Mark Buehner is back again and this book has several positives. The illustrations are extremely engaging. The Halloween costumes these snowmen are sporting are fun and creative. To note the snowman in the rowboat, the punk-rocker, medusa, and Frankenstein are favorites. There are hidden pictures on each page as well, and not always so easy to find, which brings you back to each page again and again. It would be this reviewers wish that the meter of the rhyme had better flow on some pages, but overall, this book is highly entertaining. To note this book is also offered in a hard-cover picture book as well.
Snowmen At Halloween by Caralyn Buehner gets 4.5 Stars from this reviewer!
