Our featured book this week is Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. It is one of a series of books featuring the lovable snowmen and a great read-aloud for you and your preschoolers to enjoy.
In the book, the little boy wonders why his snowmen are much different in the morning than when he headed to bed. So he imagines what they get up to once everyone is asleep. The illustrations and story are beautiful.
