Publisher Description
The snowmen are getting their Halloween costumes ready for the latest picture book in this New York Times bestselling series.
Have you ever built a snowman and discovered the next day that his grin has gotten a little crooked, or his tree-branch arms have moved? And you've wondered . . . what do snowmen do when we're not watching?
After an early snowfall, a few kids build some snowmen before going trick-or-treating. And when the kids go off to bed, the snowmen have their own Halloween festival! There's candy and apple-bobbing and costume contests and all sorts of autumn activities. When the kids wake up the next morning, the snowmen are gone... but they've left a very special message behind.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A surprise October snowfall brings the Buehners' well-known characters out for a night of Halloween fun. The narrator and his sister carefully craft a troupe of snow characters and outfit them in costume, then, in a now-familiar setup, head off to bed as the boy imagines just what the snowmen get up to while everyone else is asleep. Caralyn Buehner's bouncy rhymes chronicle the frosty friends' parade into town warmly lit for carnival games, a hay-bale maze, and trick-or-treating before they leave a celebratory seasonal message in their melted wake. Mark Buehner's oil-and-acrylic illustrations feature a playful balance between nighttime shadows and twinkling jack-o'-lanterns, and young readers will enjoy searching for each of the roly-poly friends (a rabbit, a robot, and a rowboat among them) on every page. Ages 3 7.
