Snowmen at Night (Storytown Library - Story 8)

Love this book! My 3-year-old granddaughter listened and watched as I read it to her. She then said, "My turn," and read it to me. She made up words and sounds while running her finger under the words, the same way I did it. She copied my gestures and my tone, even showing excitement on certain pages. She gave her stuffed Mickey Mouse a turn to read it, then returned to me and listened to the whole story again. Days later, she read it to her daddy.

I plan to buy Snowmen at Christmas and will keep my eye out for other books by this author.

I have worked in customer service my whole life and I received the best customer service ever from hippo_books I am a customer for life! They know how to treat people!! Amazing! Everyone should follow their example!!

I bought this puzzle for my five-year-old, who's very into books and puzzles right now. The book is beautiful and of high quality. The only problem is that The "Search Inside" and description don't tell you that the puzzles only have 24 pieces. The cover also doesn't indicate how many pieces are in the puzzle. The description says that the books are good for readers from 4 to 8 years. This might be true for the reading level -- but not for the skill level. These would be good for _very_ young children. I would have given a "5" for the book alone -- without the puzzle feature which, in my opinion, confuses things a bit.

Even though we live in Florida and don't have snow my 3 year old son enjoys this book. It has good rhythm and cute story. This book was one of his preschool teachers favorites so we bought it. I am glad we did.

Box was damaged alittle, but the stuff snowman and book are fine. The snowman is about 5 inches tall and the book is about 5 inches by six inches. The illustrations in the book are very well done and the colors are warm and friendly. This set will make a great gift for any child.

This book has funny snowmen in. The kids love to pick out which one they would be. There are also hidden pictures to discover. Great rhymes! We love to read this one all year long. This was the second copy I bought as a teacher gift.

My 4 year old son has asked me to read this every night since we got it in the mail. He loves the story, the funny pictures of the snowman & especially looking for the hidden Santa faces, bunnies, t-rex & cats! We find something new every time we look. Most importantly, I love the story, the beautiful pictures & searching for the hidden pictures too. That means I won't get tired of reading it!

These books are so beautiful. We have checked them out of the library over and over. We enjoy the whole series but especially love this one. We bought this as a gift. It shows what snowmen do while the rest of us are sleeping. So cute!!

I KNEW OF THE BOOK BEFORE I ORDERED IT....THE TWO SETS I PURCHASED WILL BE GIVEN AS GIFTS.
THE ONLY NEGATIVE NOTE IS THAT ONE OF THE BOXES HOUSING ONE SET WAS CRUSHED DURING SHIPPING,
OTHER THAN THAT, I AM VERY PLEASED. PCK

Bought this book in board book form from the store.My grandkids loved it.It is written in rhyming text with lots of humor and is just fun to read!It is a favorite in our house.It captures the imagination and wonder of childhood and the fun of building snowmen and what they "might" be doing at night while we're sleeping.Loved it!

I love this book....so clever! As a first grade teacher I've read this book many times. My paperback edition was wearing out and I opted to get a hardback copy that I will share with my grandsons.....

This book was required summer reading for my son's kindergarten. This book is absolutely delightful! It really does make you wonder! The illustrations are wonderful. The story is engaging and the hidden pictures are an extra bonus. We love it!

Bought this book for my 3 year old grandson and he loves it. Its a special book. One you'll enjoy for years very much like "The night before christmas". Its a book that will become a tradition. The story is very entertaining and the artwork is beautiful. You won't regret this purchase.

This book is delightful and full of imagination. My preschool class loved it and my six year old daughter read it over and over and shared it with her friends! Children & adults will fall in love with it!

I read this book to my granddaughter's kindergarten class and they LOVED it! It's written in verse with a sense of humor...good for inspiring creative thinking. (What do you think YOUR snowman does at night??)

This book is amazing. It explains what snowmen do at night when their makers are sleeping. The story is fun, and the pictures are great! The pictures have hidden pictures in them giving this book the ability to keep little ones busy looking.

I was very disappointed to find a crushed box that showcases the set; even more, I was dissatisfied with the size of the book. Perhaps the dimensions of the actual book should be in the description. Had I known the book was going to be so small, I would have bought the hardcover option instead.

I have ordered many books from better world books and have never been disappointed. However this book (which I was giving as a Christmas present for my daughter's teaching library) came in terrible condition. The book must have gotten wet at some point because it is badly warped. I kept it, but will be unhappy when she opens it.

Busy moms (and dads), a fun and delightful tale of winter nighttime secrets, this is a year round favorite. If we think our schedules are packed, we’ve got nothing on these snowmen! Besides the roles they play in our children’s imaginations during the daytime, snow-play hours, they have their own busy night of races, games and snowy activities! ;)

The Buehners offer a peek inside the nighttime world of snowmen and reveal the secret activities in which they partake while we slumber. The event-filled nights of these snowmen would leave the best of us tired and looking little run down by the time we were seen the next day! Author Caralyn Buehner spins the tale of Snowmen at Night in light and funny verse. Her story and structure lend themselves to repeated giggles and easy reading.

Illustrator Mark Buehner brings the snowmen life and captures the hilarity of their activities: snowman races, sledding, sipping cold cocoa, and more. He also captures the essence of the day-after snowman many of us have seen in our own yards. After several reads of the book (maybe several dozen), I noticed something in the snow on one page. To my great enjoyment, I discovered there are hidden images on all the pages!

Snowmen at Night is one of the Buehners’ many popular creations, and it’s easy to see why after only a couple of pages. A year-round favorite in our house, Snowmen is a great tale of wintertime fun, perfect for the season.

Why do our snowmen look so droopy in the morning? They are out partying, sledding, making snowman angels and drinking cocoa! This is one of those books that I enjoy reading every time I read it. We put all of our holiday books on a special shelf and only bring them down after Thanksgiving, but this one stays out all year. The other awesome thing about this book is the hidden pictures! It has our kids picking it up over and over again. We LOVE the book at our house :)

I love it. I bought it for my Great grand-sons. The story is written in Rhyming verse. The pictures are pretty and will live in the child's memory. I will recommend this book to my friends to buy for grand children. it's cozy to read to the little ones.

Have you ever wondered what snowmen do at night? This cute picture book answers that question. In addition to the wonderfully, charming pictures, you learn that snowmen love to do some of the same things human children do. They do things such as: sledding, ice skating, snowball fights and many other activities. Maybe that is why when we see a snowman the next morning they look a little disheveled. Now we know why.

For someone looking for a warm, meaningful book gift; you found it in "Snowmen at night!"
An absolutley enchanting and mesmerizing story and illustrations!
I teach preschool and read this every winter several times a day and the children and I LOVE it!
You can look at the pictures forever and see different details each time!
Each time the book orders come out; I highly recommend this book and have had every parent return after ordering it telling me how much their entire family loves the book!
The Buehner's love snowmen and children and it's a winning book for sure!!!

My 18 month old loves this book. She asks to read it EVERY night before bed, she even has to bring it to bed with her most nights. I love that this book doesn't give you much detail to read but yet explains a lot about what snowmen do at night, it's such a fun, cute book. It's not a long book which is perfect for bedtime. If you are on the fence, get it, you won't be disappointed!

Of all the Snowmen books, this is my favorite. Besides the gorgeous illustrations, the idea for the story is so darn cute. Within the pages there are hidden things to find so it makes reading an adventure, too. I read this to my granddaughter 3 times a day during a week long visit and neither of us ever tired of it. It's a fast read and rhymes. Great for nights/days when reading time is limited. I believe gazing at gorgeous illustrations brings a delight in beauty and helps direct a child's mind to art appreciation. It's another reason I love the Snowmen books.

This book is so cute, and not boring like some other board books. It is well written and illustrated. Not only does it actually have a story, but it is an interesting one. I think that I will be able to read this one with my 2 year old for many years.

This book is one of my favorite children's books. The story is very cute with wonderful imaginary twists. Every young child wonders what has happened when they see a melting snowman in the morning. This is a great magical story that they'll love.

The illustrations are magnificent. Very warm and rich in color, with cute and funny snowmen.
A wonderful book.

This is by far my daughter's favorite book, and one of my favorites to read to her. She is two and a half, and we love finding the hidden pictures. The illustrations are beautiful, and the subtle rhyming keeps you going. We could read it over and over, and have several times. We have shared it with her cousins, ages ranging from 3 - 10, and they all love it. My sister is a preschool teacher, and she has now incorporated it into her yearly program. We live in a very snowy area, the High Rockies of Colorado, and its a great way for her to "understand" where the snowmen go that we build. GET THIS BOOK! Your child will love it. (Also check out the other's... Snowmen All Year and Snowmen at Christmas.)

My kids (5 and 2) both love this book. The illustrations are fun and the rhyming is very well-done -- it's fun to read as a parent. We've purchased all of the snowmen books now because my kids can't get enough of them.

My 6month old son fell in love with this book. Now at nine months old he will only fall asleep for his nap after reading this book and "Green Wilma". A must buy for any library!! The hidden pictures will keep any aged child entertained.
(Looking back on this review...now 4 months later, my son will pick this book out of a pile and then lay down for his story.)

The warmth and openness that the authors convey in this book makes you feel like you live in that neighborhood yourself. Cute story; beautiful artwork. Children as young as 2 are drawn in and fascinated by the magical storyline. Great read-aloud book!

I have four little ones and this is absolutely their favorite once the snow flies. We read it every day and they always ask me to read it again. The pictures are beautiful and the whole book is just wonderful! We love Snowmen at Night!

I stumbled upon this book at Borders and am so pleased that I did. My husband and I, and especially our 2 1/2 year old, love it! The rhyme is great; the humor is fun; and there are many things that children can relate to in the book, which of course, is important for them to be able to enjoy it. I rarely rate products but took the time especially to make a recommendation on this one because it is such a great one!

This is a beautifully illustrated book with a story that is appealing to young and old alike. As a teacher, I've used it as inspiration for second grade students to write a narrative about what they think snowmen do at night. The students published their stories on snowman-shaped paper, and I hung them on our large bulletin board, which I decorated using the beautiful purple and blue hues shown on the cover illustration.

I bought this book for my 2 year old daughter who has a fascination with snowmen. She wants to read it 2 or more times a day and wants to sleep with it for naps and bedtime (board book). Put this board on your "must have" list.

This book is definitely not just for children. Adults will enjoy sharing this with their kids. We just received the book and my husband & I are in love with "Snowmen at Night". The faces and details on the snowmen are outstanding. The artist has hidden little pictures on the pages for you to find. I have a feeling that we are going to get as much enjoyment from this book as our 3 yr. old daughter.

I bought this book to gift along with snowman kits I've made for Christmas. It is perfect! This delightful story is written in rhyme and the title says it all. I love it! The illustration is wonderful as well.

These books are so beautiful. We have checked them out of the library over and over. We enjoy the whole series but especially love this one. We bought this as a gift. It shows what snowmen do while the rest of us are sleeping. So cute!!

Sorry to be the first bummer review, but neither myself nor my kid liked this book. The artwork is fun and colorful, but the story was lacking. The snowmen leave their yards at dark and convene for a night of revelry. The "snowmen mothers" however get to serve them ice-cold cocoa. That's it ladies, no fun for the snow girls, just serve and smile... in frumpy hats no less.

I would have liked this book better if it were perhaps only about the boys, or if the gender roles were not grossly cliche. My child and I could have then just imagined the horde as girls if we felt inclined. But since the author decided to highlight the gender roles of snow folk, our attentions were then drawn to the stark differences, and ultimately the lame presentation of female participation. We kept expecting the ladies to make another appearance and whoop it up with the fellas later in the story, but they never did.

I'm certainly not anti-male. Our library has a lovely assortment of books with both traditional and whimsical boy protagonists. It's just that I prefer to give my child the benefit of seeing women, mothers, girls, sisters portrayed in strong and creative ways that reflect the rich variety of skills and interests of females today (even if they are minor characters). It is not my intention to bash homemaker mothers either, I myself am one. I enjoy cooking for my family and serving cocoa on cold days, I even like doing dishes... but there's more to me than my cocoa.

My 2 year old granddaughters favorite book and one I don't mind reading 10 times in a row. You think I'm kidding but I read and re-read this book to her for 30 minutes and she continued to say "again!" A must have and beautiful illustrations as well.

I bought this for my 4-year-old granddaughter for Christmas and then waited for it to snow (which it did this year!) so we could build a snowman. The following day we went to look at the snowman and he'd lost an arm and had shrunk, so we read this story and she loved it. Basically, it's about the fun and games that snowmen participate in after dark and "explains" why they're looking disheveled the next day.

When you're reading to a four-year-old from georgia, snow is very exciting. Especially, snowmen who come to life. The book was fun and rhymed, which is always a plus for us. Be sure to read the last page... there's a little surprise that you must take advantage of. ;)
