Another good winter snow tale. Illustrations are wonderful. Cute story.

2.5 cute illustrations, and I didn't hate the rhyme-scheme, but not one I want to read more than twice.

[Daniel Barrows · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delightful rhythm and rhyme about the making of snowmen, from the snow people's perspective. The ending brings a sweet cozy smile to my face every time.

Reading time: 4 minutes.

I like this book alot. It is about all these snow people and little john asks how they were made and the whole story is about mama and papa telling him all the things that happen before they come to life. There are some really creative thinkings in here and i am glad that i read this book.In the end they say the one final touch that the people give to them to help them come to life is a big warm smile and i thought that was really cute.

This is one of those really cute stories that is just great to read to little kids at this time of year. My sister picked it up to read to the kids when she worked in a daycare. In it, two snowchildren ask where they came from. The answer is adorable. The artwork is cute and the story is told in rhyme. This is great for early readers to read for themselves or parents of pre-readers to read aloud to their children.

A nice holiday read aloud. Would be fun to read before or after building a snowman outside or making some sort of snowman craft inside.
