In this sparkling picture book celebration of
winter and creativity, a boy’s snow day efforts show that perfection is
relative and what’s important is taking pride in what you do!(goodreads summary)
Nothing is better than waking up to a newly, fresh fallen snow. This means it is the right time for building the best snowman ever! The boy in this story makes plans to build the perfect snowman. He rolls up snowballs until they become perfect circles and then it is time to decorate it! Unfortunately, when he is done he finds the snowman is not like the one he pictured in his mind. This is a simple story with a deeper meaning for the word perfect. The text is easy-to-read and the pictures reminded me of Dream Snow by Eric Carle. In the end, the little boy is proud of his snowman by finding perfection in its' imperfection. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
