"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!" So begins this third picture-book devoted to the imaginary adventures of the eponymous snowmen. In this installment, the boy narrator imagines all the activities he could share with his snowman, all the year round, if snowmen didn't melt...

Like its two predecessors, Snowmen at Night and Snowmen at Christmas, Snowmen All Year pairs an engaging and imaginative tale told in rhyme with bright, colorful artwork that grabs the reader/listener's attention. Also like its predecessors, there are hidden images in the artwork here, that young children will enjoy searching for. Recommended to children who enjoyed the first two Snowmen books, as well as to anyone searching for fun read-aloud picture-books in rhyme. ( )

Part of the snowman series, this book tells the adventures snowmen would have if they could be around all year, instead of just in the winter! It is a fun, imaginative book.

My favorite of the set, until the last page. It's a whole different story all of a sudden, much more serious & melacholy. ( )

Written in verse, this book indulges the imaginations of children and the fun they would have with snowmen if they could be around all year. I think it would be useful in the classroom during the winter, but also right before summer break because it would encourage children to talk about and get excited for their summer plans.
