Upper left - The Snowman by Raymond Briggs published in 1978. From book summary: "When his snowman comes to life, a little boy invites him home and in return is taken on a flight above beautiful cities and strange lands." From back cover, "In this wordless tour de force, award-winning illustrator Raymond Briggs uses more than 175 subtly colored, neatly arranged picture frames to tell of a wondrous winter adventure shared by a little boy and a snowman who has magically sprung to life."
Upper right - Midnight Snowman by Caroline Feller Bauer and illustrated by Catherine Stock published in 1987. From front book flap, "I rains a lot in our town. It never snows. Mr. Johnson read The Snowy Day to our class last year. I loved the idea of making snow angels, and building a snowman." "Young readers -- even those who live someplace where it does snow - will sympathize with the plight of the girl in this quietly charming story. And they will share in the excitement, and the fun, when one night it finally does snow, and she and her friend Elizabeth are allowed to go out and build a snowman. Soon the whole nieghborhood is involved in the project. The problem is that no one is really experienced at snowman-building. Even the unexpected results can't dampen the joy of time spent with friends on a wonderfully snowy night."
Lower left - Snowballs by Lois Ehlert published in 1995. From back cover, "What kind of day is it when thick snow is falling everywhere? A glorious snowball day! Grab some snow and start rolling. With a few found objects, like buttons and fabric and seeds, and a little imagination, you can create a whole family out of snow. But hurry, before the sun comes out!"
Lower right - Snow Company by Marc Harshman and illustrated by Leslie W. Bowman published in 1990. From front book flap, "It's the worst storm in twenty years. School is out early and it's home for Teddy and his younger brother, Ronnie - in from the cold and wind, with smells of corn bread and chili cooking. The snow never stops. Its blowing swirls make it almost dark in the afternoon when suddenly there is company. Jim is the first of the stranded travelers to arrive, tramping through the drifts to the house. And then Mrs. Hart - Dad's old schoolteacher - and Mrs. Mason with her baby. Her truck got stuck behind Mrs. Hart's car. Gratefully, they settle in. When the electricity fails, there are candles, and it is warm near the stove. The evening turns into a party of riddles and stories about blizzards until it is time to bed down for the night. Here is another piece of American life, an inviting story of life in the country, of neighborliness, of friendship and helping out in need. It's a wlecome follow-up to Marc Harshman's A Little Excitement, of which The Horn Book Magazine said, "Harshman's story with its folksy appeal, is well plotted and gripping. An impressive debut from a welcome new voice." From book summary: "Teddy and his family enjoy the excitement of unexpected company when their neighborhood is hit by the worst blizzard in twenty years."
