This tale starts as a friendly rivalry and when the two most serious competitors join together the story turns to a lesson about friendship and teamwork. The ending of this book slightly reminds me of a Frog and Toad book. This is a nice book with a good moral and some good characterization. It

would be useful for a lesson on being a teammate (etc).

This is a good example of a fantasy book. It is a believeable story about friendship between two mice as they try to build the biggest snowman. Students would be able to relate to this fun story. The major theme of this book is friendship, specifically as their friendship grows through their team

work. If these two mice didn't work together then they wouldn't have create the biggest snowman ever, their snowman would have been just like all the others. You can accomplish great things when you work together. I would use this book in a primary classroom. The type of media used is pen because of the detail on the mice and snowman with the structured lines and shading.

A sweet book that centers around the idea of teamwork. I loved the illustrations in this one because I'm one of those rare women that thinks a mouse is adorable. It was an ingenious way of working a short plotline having the two friends work together. Another thing I thought was cute was that the

other contestants in the snowman contest didn't stop at just snowmen. There was a snow princess and a snow martian too.
Cheers and Happy Holiday Readings Kids!

What a great story to teach about teamwork. Working together sure pays off for these 2 little mice. A great story about winter and teamwork and friends working problems out together. Grade-preschool

The Biggest Snowman Ever by Steve Kroll
Audio version so I am not seeing the colorful pictures.
They each make a snowman and see what the others have done.
The day of the contest and they had a surprise for everyone. They had both gotten together the day before and combined forces.
I received this book

from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
