A beginning story about teamwork and the job of snow. The town has thrown a contest for whoever can build the biggest snowman. Some kids just build a snow martian or snow princess but two friends want to win. They try by themselves and it's not working, so they decide to work together to win the big prize.This story is plenty cute and I enjoyed the snowy landscapes and still, the story didn't really move me much.

The nephew enjoyed seeing how they built their big snowman. He would love to make a snowman that big. His dad could get the wheelbarrow to help and I'm tall so I could stack the snow up high and he could build a really huge snowman, he claims. I said, it takes snow to do that and there isn't any this year. Better luck next year. He gave this 3 stars. He then spent 5 minutes coming up with ideas to make a giant snowman.

My family loves this story, mostly because we can all relate to little Nell. It's hard being too small and when you ask to help always being reminded that you're too small.
To escape being too little, Little Nell walks into the woods to "watch the snow fall from the sky" and there she finds a few true friends -- Reindeer, Bear Cub and Hare. She tells them that her "...family won't let me do anything. I could never make a snowman." The friends set up pro
*Review posted on Mundie Kids on 2/15/2012*My family loves this story, mostly because we can all relate to little Nell. It's hard being too small and when you ask to help always being reminded that you're too small.
To escape being too little, Little Nell walks into the woods to "watch the snow fall from the sky" and there she finds a few true friends -- Reindeer, Bear Cub and Hare. She tells them that her "...family won't let me do anything. I could never make a snowman." The friends set up proving her family wrong.
They work together rolling, kicking and nudging three snowballs until their snowman is complete. What's important here is a reminder that with the help of friends, you're truly never too little to do a big job. I loved how her family was proud of Little Nell's accomplishment.
I know the winter has been mild in many of the parts of the country, but if you're feeling any symptoms of cabin fever, be sure to pick up this book. It's a good reminder for you and your children that when you set your mind to a goal, you can accomplish it.

By working together they win the prize, which is a large wedge of Swiss cheese. It would be an excellent option for teaching the importance and benefits of teamwork. As for the writing, the sentences are generally short and simple, with much dialogue to which the teacher could emphasize and illustrate fluency. The illustrations nicely complement the storyline.

Cheers and Happy Holiday Readings Kids! A sweet book that centers around the idea of teamwork. I loved the illustrations in this one because I'm one of those rare women that thinks a mouse is adorable. It was an ingenious way of working a short plotline having the two friends work together. Another thing I thought was cute was that the other contestants in the snowman contest didn't stop at just snowmen. There was a snow princess and a snow martian too.

I thought it a nice story and the drawings were cute but for me it was just okay. Little ones I think will enjoy this and it will get them excited to build a snowman themselves (the cold is another story haha ;-) ).

The art is nice and the story appropriate. It's not likely to win any major awards or be a household favorite, but it's great for extra, or diversionary reading.
Definitely worth a dollar or two, or checking out from the local library.

Little ones will love the repetitive text and the whimsical illustrations.
But, I have to admit, my favorite snowman built, was the Martian Snowman.
Something about those eyes!
The biggest snowman ever is about two mice that enter a snowman contest. In order to win, they decide to work together to make an even bigger snowman. This book was really cute and could be used in the classroom to discuss with students the importance of working together and collaborating with others.
Message was about getting more done by working together (which is nice). Story itself was okay.
Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.Message was about getting more done by working together (which is nice).

Great book for the holiday season. I used this book for a read aloud to get my third grade students in the mindset to write a holiday story! It was a fun and festive lesson all around!

The Biggest Snowman Ever is about two mice who enter a snowman-making contest. Both Clayton and Desmond believe they will make the biggest snowman and win the prize, until, at the very same moment, the two mice had a grand idea. They combined their snowmen into one. When the judges came out, they declared Clayton and Desmond the winners of the contest saying that they together had made the biggest snowman ever!This book was okay. The storyline was not my favorite because I could not relate to it. As I live in Louisiana, I do not ever see snow. The repetition in the book bored me. The illustrations are probably the best part of the book. I liked the pastel colors that were presented; it calmed me. Overall, there are a few positives; however, this one is just not for me. I would be curious to see how someone would react to this book if they did live in a climate where it snowed.
