Snowball Fight! (Book and Audio CD) (Paperback) [Audio CD]

Jimmy Fallon (Author), Adam Stower (Illustrator), Chris Phillips (Narrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2007

When school is closed because of a snowstorm, a boy and his sister race outside to play. He builds a fort, and soon a fierce snowball fight with other children ensues. The battle rages until it's time to head home for cocoa. Short rhyming stanzas describe the events. Ranging in size from small insets to double-page paintings, the energetic cartoon-style illustrations capture the action and humor. Sporting colorful outerwear and a silver colander on his head, the protagonist is ready for any adventure. Large print and lots of repetition make this a good choice for beginning readers as well as an engaging read-aloud.

5.0 out of 5 stars School's Closed! It's Time For A 'Snowball Fight!', September 28, 2005

This review is from: Snowball Fight (Hardcover)

Snow is piling up outside, and school is cancelled. It's time to go outside for a snowball fight. The children from all over town head outside in their heavy moon boots, and fuzzy hats, and do everything that a snow day requires: build a fort, use toboggan's as shields, sitting by the fire drinking hot cocoa, and, best of all having a snowball fight with your friends and neighbors. One that will leave everyone dripping wet, and freezing from their head right down to their toes. A day to remember for all. A snow day.

Jimmy Fallon is multi-talented. That was proven when he released a comedy album that was actually Grammy-nominated. But Fallon shows a different side of his funny-man persona with the release of this marvelous new children's book SNOWBALL FIGHT!, that is a perfect present to pull out on chilly days. Filled with funny, rhyming prose on every page, alongside gorgeous illustrations by Adam Stower, SNOWBALL FIGHT! is a children's book that everyone must have a copy of. Especially if you are a fan of Jimmy Fallon.

This review is from: Snowball Fight (Hardcover)

Snowball Fight captures the joy of a snow-day "School's closed Day" All school-aged children and adults with any kind of memory remember that feeling. The book is a breezy, fun romp battle romp with snowballs. It's a light book told in verse, great for the season; a good addition for libraries and schools. The colorful pictures by Dam Stower give a lot of appeal to this book. Jimmy Fallon has written a good-natured little book for kids (preK through 3rd) and kids-at-heart.
