This book may be small, but it has a big meaning. It's about a girl named Sadie who made a snowman in her back yard. Unfortunately, some birds ate the "eyes", a squirrel ate the "nose", and a raccoon stole the "mouth", and the snowman melted down. So the next time it snowed, Sadie made the snowman all over again, but the same thing happened again. The animals stole all the ingredients, and the snowman melted away. This happens to her a few other times, but she never gave up. To find out how Sadie resolved her problem, read the book today!

This is a great book to read to children. It helps to show them that no matter how many times you may fail, or however many times something goes wrong, to keep on trying because things will work out in the end.

This story has real nice illustrations. Here's what the book's about: Sadie is a girl who is trying to make a snowman. The first time she makes a snowman some animals eat what she used for the eyes, mouth, etc. and then he melts. Sadie gets depressed but the next time it snows, Sadie makes another snowman. Problems come up for each one she makes. Can Sadie find a way to solve her snowmen problems? Find out when you read this book.

Sadie makes a snowman in her back yard over and over again using food items for the eyes, nose and mouth. Some animals and birds eat the food items, but Sadie keeps building the snowman until the spring comes and there's no more snow. She puts the melted snow into her freezer for the summer and then when it snows again in the winter, she takes it out and rebuilds him all over again. Repetition is the name of the game here, encouraging child participation and assists with memory. My daughter is three and has had this book for more than a year now. She loves it and knows nearly all of the words. I very much enjoy reading this story to her because she seems to get so much pleasure out of joining in. An absolute must for all households especially those who get snow during the year when their children can relate to Sadie. I hope they put this out on general release again soon, I want to buy it for all my friends' children. Buy it, it's wonderful!

Sadie makes a snowman in her back yard and uses food items to make the eyes the mouth and the nose. Animals and birds eat the food items and the snowman melts every time, but Sadie continues to make him over and over again. Repetition is the name of the game here. My 3 year old daughter has had this book for more than a year and almost knows all the words. An absolute must for any parent especially those who live in snowy areas where their children can relate to Sadie. This is a fun and exciting book that encourages child participation and even allows me to enjoy reading it to my daughter. Buy it, it's wonderful!

I ordered this book because I had used it in a clasroom setting in a reading program for fluency and comprehension. It was out of print and you were able to locate it. I have a grandaughter named Sadie and I wanted it for her for Christmas and ordered a second one to leave at my house. It is a good reading book for children. The only thing I did not like was being billed double for both items to be shipped to me. I realize that it cost more for the second, but I doubt it was double!

Sadie and the Snowman is a wonderful story about a girl who builds a snowman and rebuilds him using the left over snow after he melts. The story has clear story elements and is wonderful when teaching problem/solution as a story ingredient. The story includes repetitive language in a captivating way. The illustrations lend themselves extremently well to "bookwalking" and previewing. A must have for every kindergarten classroom! I bought a copy for each of my students as a winter holiday treat.
