I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁
Why 4 Roars? It was cute, but it might confuse younger readers that do not live in places where it snows in Fall. The snowmen also melt in the story, which might upset some younger readers.
Critical Analysis: The book is a rhyming book and is not scary for small children. The illustrations are great fun and my favorite part of the book.
There are hidden
pictures on each page and the answers are in the book jacket. Children will love finding those, and it adds another element to the story.
The snowmen melt in the end and leave the children a message of Happy Halloween.
"Someone will be telling tales about a snowman ghost. I’ll
bet spooky stories is what snowmen like the most!"
