Summary

Clean, cold, white snow! Snow for sledding. Snow for catching on your tongue. Snow for making a SNOWMAN! Is there anything as wonderful as SNOW? Is there any better friend than a SNOWMAN? Snow isn't forever, though. The wind shifts, the weather warms and snow melts into spring. The Snowman has become something else - the fog, the rain. But, how can this boy forget his good friend? He doesn't…and he doesn't have to.

Critic reviews

"The success of the book is in the gentle rhythm created by McGhee's telegraphic text and Rosenthal's spot illustrations, and in its evocation of the long waits of childhood, so difficult for the young to endure. All ages." ( Publishers Weekly)
"With the sparest text and softest watercolors, McGhee and Rosenthal lovingly evoke the pleasures of the season’s first snow..." ( New York Times)
