Pull on your mittens and head outside with Lois Ehlert for a snowball day! Grab some snow and start rolling. With a few found objects, like buttons and fabric and seeds, and a little imagination, you can create a whole family out of snow. "Ehlert uses collages of cut paper and vibrant, textured objects to dazzling effect in her tribute to building a snowman--and snowgirl and snowcat. Her inventive designs extend the reader's perspective and tweak the limits of the picture-book format."--Publishers Weekly

Review:

star "Only an artist as gifted as Ehlert could take so well-worn a topic as building a snowman and make it as fresh as--well, new-fallen snow. . . . A joyful and inventive book."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
pointer "There is a generous spirit to this jolly, unassuming book. . . . The whole package is fun to look at, fun to read, and fun to share."--Kirkus Reviews (pointer review)
