Snowmen at Work
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Ten years ago, on the publication of Snowmen at Night, we discovered the secret lives of snowmen. While we humans sleep, the snowmen go sledding, play baseball, and drink cocoa. But now it's revealed that snowmen don't just play all night—they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town.
This fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Snowmen series is a gleeful, goofy delight. Kids will love spotting the silly details in each illustration, and the hidden pictures too. (They can look on the back side of the book jacket for a key to all that's concealed within.)

In the Buehners’ fourth snowmen book, a boy contemplates what jobs snowmen might perform. A snowman dentist “might drill bits of coal/ To fix a snowman’s smile”; others work as sled mechanics, librarians, and frozen pizza delivery men. Mark Buehner’s inviting paintings contrast the icy characters with cozy indoor scenes. Though the story ends on a flat note, the abundantly silly details should spur readers’ imaginations, and images hidden in each spread invite close study. Ages 4–8.

The Buehners continue their snowmen-come-to-life shtick with this look at occupations. A boy who made a snowman the night before awakens to find new snow on the ground but already-cleared walkways--by his snowman? "Was he the one who shoveled, with a snowman shoveling crew? / Could it be I just don't see that snowmen have jobs too?" Caralyn Buehner's rhyming verses then lead readers in an imaginative tour of other jobs snowmen might have: mechanic (for sleds), grocer, baker, magician, firefighter, "pizza man," factory worker and truck driver. Each work scene is filled with familiar occupational details, like the clip that attaches the dentist's cloth around patients' necks and the decorations that adorn the classroom--it's just the characters that seem out of place to 98.6-degree readers. Especially fun is the pet store, where all the animals are made of snow: a snow rabbit with carrot ears, a snow monkey swinging from the lights and "coldfish" in a tank. Hat, mitten and scarf styles add personality to the characters--don't miss the librarian's and teacher's. A seek-and-find element adds to the fun of poring over the pages--a cat, rabbit, T-rex and mouse are hidden in each painting. Fans and those looking for books about occupations may find themselves looking askance at every snowman they see. (Picture book. 3-7)COPYRIGHT(2012) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

When he wakes up to find his sidewalk shoveled, a young boy wonders if his snowman is responsible. He begins to contemplate all the jobs snow-folk might have. The clever rhyming text and cheeky illustrations add to this story's lighthearted appeal. Hidden images in each double-page spread painting are challenging and frustrating; the answers are on the back of the book jacket.(Copyright 2013 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
