“Aaaaaachooooo!” Sneezy the Snowman is catching a cold, and he needs to figure out appropriate ways to keep warm in the midst of winter weather. Since he is made of snow, he learns that he melts when around warm things like hot cocoa, a warm bath, or a fire. However, plenty of clothes can keep

him from winter’s worst effects like sickness.

This book, appropriate for kids in preschool up to early elementary school, teaches little ones about how to handle themselves in the midst of cold weather. It also teaches how snow behaves in different environments. The story unfolds repetitively so that it can interject a small or large group with raucous laughter. This book is well-suited for the winter months and especially around the December winter holidays.

The illustrations are very cute, colorful and funny.

The Snowman keeps being attracted to warm things that disagree with him and make him melt. It's actually very silly and funny, but he is not very nice to the kids. He takes and takes and makes the children work for

him instead of making them happy or having fun. It should be called the Selfish Snowman.

It's okay... I didn't find any solution in the end, they just went for ice cream. Don't know how I used this in a classroom, maybe have the children finish the story.

I also would have liked to see a new shape of the snowman every time he asks the kids to make him new again.
