Monday's Riddle: Space to Grow...

Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme this week? Being from Manhattan, I didn't realize how amazing these are until I moved to Connecticut, where they line the hills to the horizon. ; ) ~ F

Margo's Musings: What Do Snowmen Do at Night?


Winter is nipping at our noses and soon snow will be blowing down around us. As we drive around our small town we see sparkling lights on trees, wreathes on doors and the smell of evergreens is in the air. We’re getting ready for the holiday season and my little sister, Margo, can’t wait to play outside in the snow again. She knows it’s almost time for sled rides and snowmen, which is why she had to get Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner during our last visit to the local library. I remembered this one from when I was her age, and honestly, it still gets my imagination going.   


In this book, a child builds a snowman and notices the next day that its grin wasn’t the same and its arms had moved. This makes the child start wondering what happened during the night to make these changes. Could the snowman have been playing with others, drinking hot cocoa or skating on ice? It seems like anything could have happened!


Margo loved seeing the activities that the snowmen could have been doing at night. The bright pictures are beautiful and really help create a fun winter scene. She especially loved the facial expressions on the snow faces! Seeing all the fun the snowmen were having has made my sister even more excited for our first snow fall. From the weather reports she doesn’t have ling to wait. I know that when we have enough snow my sister will want to build a snowmen, and then she’ll be dreaming of all the adventures it will get into when we go to sleep.

Has anyone else read Snowmen at Night? Or have you read another book by Caralyn Buehner? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Happy reading!

When it snows, I'll come to play; a warm touch melts me away. I'll stand by in a storm, ice and cold is how I'm born. Imagination sets me free, though my eyes can't really see. Sticks and stones make my bones, but my chilly vibes conjure festive tones.
