Book of the Week: Snowmen At Night



This rhyming tale is told from a young boy's perspective. He discovered his snowman looking droopy and worn, causing him to wonder, "What do snowmen do at night?" He then goes on to imagine a night filled of fun, including snowman games, skating and ice-cold cocoa.
