Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,
written and illustrated by Mark Jones, provides readers with a guide to making
snowman and offers up some interesting facts in the process.
The book opens with a brief history of snowmen
– a reference in a Christian devotional book from Medieval Denmark, the first
known photograph of a snowman 1853 in Wales, and a Hans Christian Anderson
story to name a few. GETTING STARTED identifies the basics: what to wear, best
places for building your snowman, how to use the location to create a visual
story. Each of the remaining twelve chapters focus on individual projects
ranging from basic snowmen, to snow scenes, and on to elegant snow sculptures.
Detailed instructions are illustrated with a
combination of vibrant cartoon-style illustrations and photographs which are
paired with colorful notes and tips.
