Review

On a cold snowy day, the kids are out of school. They decide to build a snowman. But what happens when they build him, and then abandon him and he gets tired of being in the cold and watching them all cozy and warm. He plots his revenge.

And so is the story of The Snowman’s Revenge. It’s a short children’s story by Mark Smythe, told in a rhyming fashion. There are illustrations throughout the book by Mike Motz.

I thought the story was a cute one, but for young kids might be a little scary. I know when I was little, I was freaked out by the flying monkeys, so I figure a snowman set on revenge might be frightening to some children.

I’d recommend it, but with a warning for parents to read it first and determine if they think their child will be bothered by it. With that in mind, pick it up and at least take a look at it.
