Snowmen All Year

By Caralyn Buehner

In this lighthearted, funny follow-up to the previous Snowmen bestsellers, our young narrator dreams of a non-melting snowman friend who joins him for all of the year’s events. They ride a roller coaster together, dive into a swimming pool in the summer, watch the Fourth of July fireworks, and trick-or-treat on Halloween.

This happy rhyming snowmen book can be used in speech therapy to address social/emotional issues like finding activities friends can enjoy together and sharing interests.
