WARNING: THIS REVIEW ISN'T WHAT I'D CALL "CHILD FRIENDLY"
It's a snow day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See. True story. That's my backyard.
Like every other snow day, I was woken up this morning AN ENTIRE F-ING HOUR EARLIER than our regular school-day "get up time" by a couple of screaming banshees. The youngest bounded out of his room hollering his plans to build an epic snowman . . . which reminded me of this little story.

If your kids love snowmen the way my nephew loves snowmen, they will love this book. It is about what snowmen do at night when people are watching. They PARTY.

A lively rhyming story that imagines the hijinks that snowmen get up to when we are sleeping. Kids will enjoy hunting for the images that are hidden in the impressive illustrations. - Paula C. -
Did you like making a snowman as a kid? I know I did! Children put a lot of time into making snowmen and go back for days to check out their masterpiece. In this delightful winter story, the little boy noticed that his snowman looked different the next day. Because of this, he started to wonder what snowmen do at night. He imagines the exciting life that happens when snowmen get together such as enjoying hot chocolate, racing, ice skating, play baseball, a huge snowball fight, and many more exci

I can't help it. This book just speaks to me me on a fundamental level. I never get tired of reading it. The art is also just beautifully put together. Snow covered moonlit nights have never looked more like I remember them when I was a kid.

Fun story about what snowmen do while we are all sleeping
Simple but bouncy rhymes detail the overnight exploits of snowmen when everyone is asleep, readers learn they sled, skate, drink cold cocoa, and participate in snowball fights among other things. The pictures are almost three-dimensional in places, where you expect the snowball to leap off the page. Upon reading the copyright page, the illustrator alerts readers they can find a cat, rabbit, Santa face, and a T-Rex in “all these wintertime scenes” but they are thoroughly hidden. I had massive dif

When he finds his snowman somewhat melted one morning, a young boy wonders what the snowy figure might have gotten up to the night before, imagining a series of exciting events, from a trip to the park to a sports competition involving all of the snowman's friends. The snowmen enjoy themselves immensely in this imaginary scenario, something which offers potential comfort to the children who observe their deteriorated condition the next day...

Personally, I love all the Snowmen books, and so do my kids. In this latest adventure, an early snowfall means a snowy Halloween. But before all the treat-or-treating festivities, a sister and brother build a some snowman and of course, they dress them up for Halloween. Later that night, on their way home, one of the kids thinks he sees a snowman wink. That sets off his imagination, wondering what these scary looking snowman do for Halloween. In his imagination, the snowmen first set off on a Ha

This isn't anything too profound, but it has rhyming (which I'm always a fan of esp. for reading aloud to kids) and it's silly (which I'm also a big fan of).
I don't think I loved it the first time I read it, but I recently re-read while babysitting and liked it a lot. It's a fun, creative book with nice illustrations to add to the mix of winter books. ...more

I bought this for my grandsons and I can't wait to give it to them. Such a cute story and the illustrations are top-notch and so appealing. I'm sure this will be one that becomes one of their favorites.

4.5/5
This is a cute children’s picture book about the adventures and fun that snowmen get up to while everyone is asleep at night, and perhaps that’s why they start to look like they’re dropping and sliding over.

Snowmen get buck fucking wild at night.

The premise is cute, writing is good (subjective, I know) and the illustrations are lovely. However, I found the book to be a little sexist, what with the snow"men" looking primarily like men (as we would attribute it in the U.S. anyway), that I could tell in most of the images--I suppose snow"women" could dress similar to what a "snowman" looks like. That's a hard one, since I know they also aren't actual humans but, they are at least somewhat representative of humans. But then there was the pa

Have you ever wondered what snowmen do at night? Well, they have a lot of fun sledding, playing baseball with snowballs, and much more.
I love how the text moves on the page and interacts with the illustrations. I think any story like this captures students' imaginations. They might be looking at the snowman in their front yard a little closer now.... ...more

The concept is excellent; however, I really think it doesn't live up to the potential it has for creativity. Needs more whimsy, wit, and mischief. It does provide challenging hidden pictures on every page to find. Bonus: The oil/acrylic rendering of light in the book.

A great book to read during winter theme months especially for children who don't experience snow this is a great time for children to make fake snow and make their own snowman as well as practice small medium and large.

What do snowmen do during the night that makes them look so different the next day? This book is really cute...imagine all the things your snowman does with the other snowmen after all the kids who made them have gone to bed.
I've owned this book for years but didn't appreciate it enough until this year reading it to my granddaughter. She loves to count the snowmen while I love the rhythm and rhyme. There are so many fun & creative picture in it, that I don't mind reading it over and over!

I've been reading this one over and over with my nineteen-month-old grandson. We are enjoying the beautiful drawings, the simple story and especially the hidden images. Our favorite snowman is the one with the pickle nose!

Kinda a cheesy storyline; but I think it would help kids to think outside the box. Give them ideas of things to wonder about when thinking about creative writing. Stimulates imagination.
A fun winter book to read to kids. A favorite in our house.

A fun book about the possible things snowmen could do at night. Rhyming text and great artwork.
This is a must read Christmas stories for children of all ages.
I think this book is an excellent read aloud for primary students. The author, Caralyn Buehner, does an excellent job illustrating the story through her text. The illustrator also does a wonderful job through his illustrations. Students enjoy discussion throughout the story about what they think snowmen could possibly do at night. This story also opens a great discussion around the difference between fiction versus non-fiction books. Although students love discussing what they think snowmen coul

Snowmen at Night is a children's picture book written by Caralyn Buehner and illustrated by Mark Buehner and it is the first book in the Snowmen series. It is a delightful story about the nocturnal activities of snowmen that is refreshingly original and visually sparkling.
Caralyn Buehner's text is rather simplistic, straightforward, and lyrical. The rhythm of the rhyming text sometimes matches the rollicking spirit of the snowmen's wintry pursuits, but occasionally stumbles. The glee comes throu ...more
