Hello, hello!
This week is National Book Award Week which focuses on "...future authors, books, and literature in general". It's a time when awards are handed out, the current landscape of the reading world is gazed upon, and what the coming years hold is pondered. This week, I want to focus on not award winners, though bookmarks up to them, but on books in general...the joy they bring, the adventures they hold, and the moments they create.
Today, we're taking a look at a new Board Book, available now for your winter reading pleasure, that's filled with more than just words, and illustrations, and bookish joy. That's right. In today's book...there's a SNOWMAN! Get ready for a flurry of fun as we step between the epages of today's featured title...

Have you read ANY of the "in your book" series? If you have, you know what you're in store for; if you haven't, it's high time you check it out because they are RIDICULOUSLY CUTE, FUN, and filled with friends you'll adore making and won't soon forget.
This time around, we're checking into a title filled with familiar friends, like Monster and Elf, and making a NEW wintertime friend. You get to join the first two in making some snowy day magic that results in the appearance of Snowman! Then with the right words, and a wave of your fingers, you'll be transported somewhere very, VERY far north where a certain holiday figure just so happens to reside. You'll pay a visit to his workshop, meet a special team that's especially busy at this time of year, and get a special sneak peek at Snowman's present! BUT, SHHH! Don't tell him what it is!
The adorable illustrations never fail to impress. The interactive nature of the stories allow readers of all ages to get in on the fun, and easily reach for it time and time again. The consistency of the series, whether it be in sturdy, tiny hand friendly, Board Book format, or a little bit larger, and gloriously illustrated Storybook format, makes this one that you'll want to add to your bookshelves, and keep you adding it to as more and more release! The variety of characters available makes it so that there's a little something for everyone, and some titles can be kept aside for more seasonal reads...not that you won't want to read about the Witch during summer, or the Elf at Easter! Seriously, they are TOO CUTE TO MISS!
