The Biggest Snowman Ever

Clayton and Desmond begin their snowman-building journey with the belief that they can outdo one another, but through their combined efforts, they create something much larger and more impressive than they could have done alone. This book is a sweet, fun, and beautifully illustrated picture book that teaches children about the importance of cooperation, friendship, and persistence. It shows how teamwork can be better than working alone.

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.
Cheers and Happy Holiday Readings Kids!

This is a very motivating book about believing in yourself and not underestimating yourself. Specifically, when it comes to building a snowman, anyone can do it even a tiny person. Just takes some work and effort. My kiddos loved this read, it was fitting for the current weather and snow days.

This story is perfect to read during the wintertime. It’s about a snowman-building contest in Mouseville. Clayton and Desmond are trying to compete against each other make the biggest snowman but realize they couldn’t do it alone. They realize their only chance to win is to join together to make the biggest snowman. They work together and end up winning the contest. In my opinion the big idea of this story is how important friendship is and working together. A little competition is always fun but working together always gets you farther.

The Biggest Snowman Ever is a tale of competition and teamwork!
When a snowman building contest for who can build the biggest snowman comes up, two boys, Clayton and Desmond, square off to see who can build a bigger snowman. Then they realize that two is better than one and together, they can build an even bigger snowman than they could on their own!
Perfect book to read when the excitement of the first snow hits!

This tale starts as a friendly rivalry and when the two most serious competitors join together the story turns to a lesson about friendship and teamwork. The ending of this book slightly reminds me of a Frog and Toad book. This is a nice book with a good moral and some good characterization. It would be useful for a lesson on being a teammate (etc).

This is a good example of a fantasy book. It is a believeable story about friendship between two mice as they try to build the biggest snowman. Students would be able to relate to this fun story. The major theme of this book is friendship, specifically as their friendship grows through their team work. If these two mice didn't work together then they wouldn't have create the biggest snowman ever, their snowman would have been just like all the others. You can accomplish great things when you work together. I would use this book in a primary classroom. The type of media used is pen because of the detail on the mice and snowman with the structured lines and shading.
