SNOWMEN AT WORK by Caralyn Buehner is a story about none other than snowmen. A little boy built a snowman and imagines what could possibly happen to snowmen at night. He imagines that snowmen could have jobs that include dentist, mechanic, baker, teacher, firefighters, and of course a librarian to mention a few. Each job is described in rhyming text. "The story-time librarian reads tales from days of yore; / How brave snow knights defend the right, while mighty dragons roar!" Many students will enjoy this rhyming text.
The illustrations are done by the author's husband, Mark Buehner. These illustrations are a treat for anyone who enjoys looking at pictures. The illustrations are done in oil and acrylic paint which cover the entire page with no white spaces. Readers will also enjoy looking for the hidden pictures on each page. The hidden pictures include a cat, rabbit, Tyrannosaurs Rex, and a mouse.
I would recommend this book to any student who enjoys rhythm while reading and wonderful illustrations.
