Frozen Noses

"Frozen Noses" is a book about children who bundle up to go outside and play on a cold winter day. They throw some snowballs, build a snowman, and go sledding. They also go ice skating, fall a few times, but get right back up and keep playing. Then they all go back inside and enjoy a nice cup of cocoa by the fire. The book teaches you to bundle up, keep warm, and have fun. This book is for children from the ages of 2-6. It was a cute book. It has fun pictures and would keep a younger child interested.

"Frozen Noses" features beautiful opaque cut-paper pictures of multiethnic children and their dog frolicking in the snow. The plot is simple but pleasing for preschoolers - the kids bundle up, go out, make a snowman, sled, skate, fall down, and come back in to get warm. The story is told in curt rhyming verses, that sometimes strain a bit in ways that small kids won't understand (a hat is a "proper topper," for example), but the main pleasure of this book is its visual aspect. Good winter fun.

When adults look out the window and see snow, they may think of shoveling, spinning tires, and wet footprints in the house. When children see snow, they see sledding and sliding and building snowpersons. That's what the children in this book go outside to do. Adults and children alike, however, can enjoy the universal pleasure of sipping cocoa by the fire when they come inside to get warm! This is a warm story for families to share in front of the fireplace - or the space heater - whatever you have available to help get cozy on a winter day.
