Inside the church, the restaurant, and the houses, everyone is celebrating. But outside, in the deserted street, three snowmen shiver in the cold, dark night. They long to join in the festivities, but as everyone knows, snowmen melt indoors. Suddenly a door flies open, and two children come rushing out. Soon they are joined by other children. Working together, they create a wonderful surprise for the lonely snowmen -- the gift of a truly merry Christmas.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-Three snowmen learn that while it is cold and lonely outside on Christmas Eve, it is way too warm for them indoors. Then, the village children turn out and quickly make 20 more snow people, which seems far more festive. Appealing, childlike illustrations enhance the slight, ephemeral story.-V. W.

Horn Book Review

Three lonely snowmen try joining groups of people celebrating on Christmas Eve but are deterred by the heat and crowds they find indoors. Spirits are low until they are found by children who build a street full of snow people to celebrate together. While the illustrations are cheerful, the snowmen characters aren't developed enough to gather sympathy for their plight. (c) Copyright 2010.
