How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton - OPTIONAL

How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton
PICTURE BOOK Sourcebooks, 2020.  $18 9781492680550

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When a snowman is brought to life by the magical snow star, this snowman leads the children on a chase to catch him, but he always escapes! His magical powers allow him to fly, change footwear, even crash through walls. The kids don't stand a chance. 

The pictures are great, and there's interesting yet improbable catching ideas. However, it's written in verse - there is rhyme but not rhythm. Made for a weird read aloud.
