Snowmen at Night

Hello Bloggie Fans,

Have you ever wondered what snowmen do at night? Okay, so maybe you haven't, but I bet your youngsters have or even your preschoolers/Kindergartners have. Caralyn Buehner with the help of Mark Buehner not only tell, but show you exactly what snowmen do at night! This book has wonderful images, also it includes hidden images that keep your kids on their toes. If you decide to do this in the classroom it would work great to build your own snowmen in art. You could hook the three balls of snow together with paper fasteners-so that the balls can move around. It brings the snowmen to life:) I know that excitement is building so without further ado- Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and Enjoy Snowmen at Night!


"One wintry day I made a snowman, very round and tall. The next day when I saw him, he was not the same at all! His hat had slipped, his arms dropped down, he really looked a fright-it made me start to wonder:What do snowmen do at night?" (Buehner, 1-2) As we know snowmen melt, but in this book the author suggests that the snowmen are alive at night,and that is the reason for the droopiness. These snowmen drink ice-cold cocoa, they race, they ice skate, they make snow angels,they play baseball and have snowball fights, but their favorite is sledding. In this book you read about all the crazy things they do, and trust me your class or children will love it! It is a wonderful story for winter, and it is an easy explanation as to why their snowmen "melted." I hope you enjoy this book and I want to hear how you have or will have used this book.
