Good Book!

This book may be small, but it has a big meaning. It's about a girl named Sadie who made a snowman in her back yard. Unfortunately, some birds ate the "eyes", a squirrel ate the "nose", and a raccoon stole the "mouth", and the snowman melted down. So the next time it snowed, Sadie made the snowman all over again, but the same thing happened again. The animals stole all the ingredients, and the snowman melted away. This happens to her a few other times, but she never gave up. To find out how Sadie resolved her problem, read the book today!This is a great book to read to children. It helps to show them that no matter how many times you may fail, or however many times something goes wrong, to keep on trying because things will work out in the end.

What a wonderful story

Sadie makes a snowman in her back yard and uses food items to make the eyes the mouth and the nose. Animals and birds eat the food items and the snowman melts every time, but Sadie continues to make him over and over again. Repetition is the name of the game here. My 3 year old daughter has had this book for more than a year and almost knows all the words. An absolute must for any parent especially those who live in snowy areas where their children can relate to Sadie. This is a fun and exciting book that encourages child participation and even allows me to enjoy reading it to my daughter. Buy it, it's wonderful!

What a wonderful book

Sadie makes a snowman in her back yard over and over again using food items for the eyes, nose and mouth. Some animals and birds eat the food items, but Sadie keeps building the snowman until the spring comes and there's no more snow. She puts the melted snow into her freezer for the summer and then when it snows again in the winter, she takes it out and rebuilds him all over again. Repetition is the name of the game here, encouraging child participation and assists with memory. My daughter is three and has had this book for more than a year now. She loves it and knows nearly all of the words. I very much enjoy reading this story to her because she seems to get so much pleasure out of joining in. An absolute must for all households especially those who get snow during the year when their children can relate to Sadie. I hope they put this out on general release again soon, I want to buy it for all my friends' children. Buy it, it's wonderful!
