Vibrant collages and a spare text stretch boldly across pages that
must be turned sideways to be read. Snow dad, mom, children, and
dog incorporate cut-paper shapes with real materials such as
Bolivian hats, African kente cloth, dried corn, and crayon-bright
buttons. If every month were December, these pictures would be
perfect pin-ups for a calendar. There is a generous spirit to this
jolly, unassuming book, as if, having given readers a satisfying
meal, Ehlert keeps stuffing yet another treat into their pockets.
The back matter extends the text with pages of labeled props that
may prompt readers to recreate the collages in their own homes,
meteorological information about snow, and photographs of real
snowmen. Even the back flap gets a new role - that's where readers
will find a recipe for popcorn balls. The whole package is fun to
look at, fun to read, and fun to share. (Kirkus Reviews)
It's time to build a snowman in this fresh and imaginative winter
classic by Caldecott Honor-winning author-illustrator Lois Ehlert.
Ehlert creates a wintry world with her signature style by collaging
vibrant cut paper and textured found objects, like buttons, fabric,
and seeds, to illuminate the most wonderful time of the year.
Readers young and old will marvel at the innovation in this
dazzling snow-filled tale and just might feel inspired to build
their own unique snow creations.
