You really can't judge this book by its cover. I thought it was going to be really humorous. It is not a sad book necessarily, but it's got a somber tone that one gets from nostalgia here and there. Interesting though. A bit of a Frosty concept, but this snowman doesn't annoy me as much as the cartoon Frosty always did. And the whole "someday it will happen to you..." seemed a bit over-the-heads for young children. Of course, I certainly caught on to it considering what I'm dealing with in my life right now. I guess I can hold on to that for some hope and positive outlook.

I liked this sweet and slightly weird story. The illustrations were wonderful.
