Hardcover edition, 40 pages, ISBN 978-0152000745.
From snowfall to the return of melting sunshine, Ehlert's clever collages feature brightly-colored, accessorized snowmen. Appendices include photos of "good stuff" for decorating, an assortment of mitten styles, a briefing on snow and the water cycle, a family photo album of snow people, and a recipe for popcorn balls. This treasure trove will artistically inspire those who have access to the white stuff and those who don't.
This book is perfect for reading at the end of a wintertime story hour before a concluding craft project of either outdoor snowman creation, or inside artwork. Beginning with round white paper cutouts for the body of the snowman, a wide variety of glueable items should be provided for personalization. Ages 1-4.
Snowballs was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year for 1995.
