Baby-Toddler–Five snowmen are displayed through die-cut pages in a range of wintry settings. Along with elves of various skin tones and animals, including a cat and a bunny, the snowmen have a snowball fight, make gingerbread, and sing carols. The short, rhyming text doesn’t align with the three-dimensional figures and illustrations; since the figures are fixed on the page throughout, they can’t perform the actions that are described on each spread. Readers may enjoy playing with the die-cut pages.
VERDICT Not a recommended purchase.
