Snowmen All Year

Snowmen All Year by Caralyn Buehner is another fun book for this time of year. You may be wondering why I think a book about snowmen would be a good book for the last day of spring break....but this is a different snowmen book. In a follow up to Buehner's Snowmen at Night and Snowmen at Christmas, Snowmen All Year let's us imagine what we would do with our snowmen throughout the warmer months if they were able to stay!

“I love to build a snowman. On freezing winter days. But when the sun is bright and warm. My snowman melts away. There's nothing but a puddle. When my snowman disappears. If only he were magic. And could stay with me all year!” 

We see the snowmen swimming, flying a kite, watching fireworks, playing at the beach, and more. This could lead to a fun writing activity on what the students would do with their snowmen this summer.

 

In this lighthearted, funny follow-up to the previous Snowmen bestsellers, our young narrator dreams of a non-melting snowman friend who joins him for all of the year's events. They ride a roller coaster together, dive into a swimming pool in the summer, and watch the Fourth of July fireworks.
