Goodreads Summary
This is a terrific book for the coming winter. Children between ages 4-8 will enjoy this book, especially in the right season. The illustrations are slightly cartoonish, but still managing to maintain realism-no blocky shapes, just slightly exaggerated and colorful(perfect for young children).
The plot is simple and easy to follow, children build a snowman and then decide to play inside...leaving the poor snowman alone in the storm. The snowman feels understandably angry, but he takes it a little further and attempts to seek revenge. The book ends slightly predictably, but the ending fit the novel perfectly. The book is a great way to interest a child in reading.
