Cute， fun read to get in the mood for the holidays

Our family loves this series starting with HOW TO CATCH THE TOOTH FAIRY which my daughter even used for her school's Literature Day Project。 Adam Wallace is back at it again making subtle references to other prominent snowman while readers hunt for the elusive main character。 I love the way my kids interact with the story and hope they catch him。 They truly enjoy the ride！ Our family loves this series starting with HOW TO CATCH THE TOOTH FAIRY which my daughter even used for her school's Literature Day Project。 Adam Wallace is back at it again making subtle references to other prominent snowman while readers hunt for the elusive main character。 I love the way my kids interact with the story and hope they catch him。 They truly enjoy the ride！ 。。。more

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。Cross posted to http://kissthebook。blogspot。com 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。Cross posted to http://kissthebook。blogspot。com 。。。more

Adam Wallace does it again！ A magical snowman comes to life and the kids will do whatever it takes to trap him: From a trampoline to ice hockey， a snowglobe to a summer get-away， these clever kids will do what they can to catch their snowman， but is he just to clever for them？ Find out！ A great read-aloud for Story Times and families， perfect for this wintry weather; Also provides some great inspiration and S。T。E。A。M。 ideas on how to build your own snowman traps！

Kaitlyn Shoemaker ，

This book is for early primary grades and traditional fantasy。 This book is so fun and really creative！ I cant imagine kids not having fun when reading this book！ I love the use of color and vivid imagery！

Christine ，

This was a fun read-aloud for grades PreK through 2。 Used with my kindle app， I was able to present the book to my in-person students through my SMARTboard， and present to my remote students as well。Cute illustrations with a lot of details help the students make predictions。 A sequencing lesson was added for grades 1 and 2， while PreK and K designed a sneaky snowman。

Jennifer Griffin ，

A super cute book about snowmen that pokes fun at Frozen and the original Frosty the Snowman story。 This is the perfect blend of fun and good storytelling—a great read aloud for ages 4-6。 I read this e-book on the Hoopla app through my library。

I have read all but 2 of the books in the 'How to Catch' series and I think they are running out of ideas。 The kids seemed to have caught the snowman here， but he was able to bust out because， you know， that's the story。 The computer art is colorful and pretty and the pace is fast， but if you read one of these books， they are the same。 The one good trap the kids set up， would have worked and the reason it didn't was silly。 They didn't really have many good ideas for traps in this one。 If my neph I have read all but 2 of the books in the 'How to Catch' series and I think they are running out of ideas。 The kids seemed to have caught the snowman here， but he was able to bust out because， you know， that's the story。 The computer art is colorful and pretty and the pace is fast， but if you read one of these books， they are the same。 The one good trap the kids set up， would have worked and the reason it didn't was silly。 They didn't really have many good ideas for traps in this one。 If my nephew were still young， he would still enjoy it， I bet。 It's about a snowman， which he loved snowmen years ago and it's action packed， which he enjoyed。 My guess is he would love it back then and who knows what star rating he would give it。 He was unpredictable。 He's too old for this now and I miss reading to him。It is about snow and that's something we rarely see here in MD and I sure do miss it。 It doesn't feel like winter without snow。 I miss winter。 I need a book called， how to make it cold and snow。 。。。more

I received this as a review copy from Source Books。 This book is so adorable！ The illustrations are impeccable and the story line cracks me up。 The children are trying to catch a snowman so they can enter a contest for school， but this particular snowman is full of antics and doesn’t want to be caught！

Emily Gayle ，

Not happy with this book。 It did not give a happy joyful Christmas feeling when reading it。 When the kids made the snowman they just wanted to play and it was not that snowman’s desire to have anything to do with the children that made it。 Pass for reading it to my kids。

Jenn Swanson ，

This was a cute book！ My daughter loved it and she really liked the illustrations！ Would recommend。

Patricia ，

7 y/o loved itI， mom to T， always let’s him date the books himself after we read together。 Honesty is the best policy and he gives this a 5！It’s a cute escape book， just like the rest！ Perfect for your kindergartener or first grader！

Cyndy ，

What are some of the things you can try， if you want to catch a snowman

Rachel Bishop ，

The kiddos loved this book today in class！！ :）

Viviane Elbee ，

In this book， a clever snowman （who is not Frosty the snowman， nor Olaf）， evades capture。 The kids build elaborate and imaginative traps for him， but each time， the snowman wiggles free。 It has an enjoyable ending which I found a little different than previous how-to-catch books that I have read in the series。 I did like how the author alludes to Frosty the snowman and Olaf in this story， without mentioning either by name。

Alisha ，

This was a cute holiday read for my children。 They loved it。

Perfect for winterMy students loved this book and I loved reading it！ Very flowy and perfect fun。 Has some hidden gems。 Awesome。

How to Catch a Snowman is a cute little book。 Told from the perspective of a snowman trying to evade capture by a group of kids， it has nice rhythm and some clever comparisons to other famous snowmen in popular culture。 My son read this one before me and immediately reported that this title took a few jabs at Frosty and Olaf， but the story certainly stands on its own and makes for a great winter's night bed time tale。 How to Catch a Snowman is a cute little book。 Told from the perspective of a snowman trying to evade capture by a group of kids， it has nice rhythm and some clever comparisons to other famous snowmen in popular culture。 My son read this one before me and immediately reported that this title took a few jabs at Frosty and Olaf， but the story certainly stands on its own and makes for a great winter's night bed time tale。 。。。more

HOW TO CATCH A SNOWMAN is a picture book that speaks from the perspective of a snowman as children try to catch him。 Unlike other books in the series， a snowman isn't really mythical， and instead， it tries to play on mythical snowmen like Frosty and Olaf。 However， it falls a little flat for me and the traps seem a bit forced， with a couple of them being things that should appeal to the snowman like fruits and veggies （maybe because they can make noses？）。The illustrations are great with lots of c HOW TO CATCH A SNOWMAN is a picture book that speaks from the perspective of a snowman as children try to catch him。 Unlike other books in the series， a snowman isn't really mythical， and instead， it tries to play on mythical snowmen like Frosty and Olaf。 However， it falls a little flat for me and the traps seem a bit forced， with a couple of them being things that should appeal to the snowman like fruits and veggies （maybe because they can make noses？）。The illustrations are great with lots of color and cute children。 The storyline was a bit disappointing as it seemed to generally fall flat。 It's not clear why they were trying to trap the snowman as they are not so elusive and can easily be made （vs the other books in the series with mythical creatures）。 Overall， I do give it some stars for the illustrations， which are high quality， but the storyline and writing fall a little flat。 I would skip this one and go for others in the series！ Please note that I received a review copy through Sourcebooks Early Reads。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Raised glitter lettering on front cover。 The children are setting traps for the snowman throughout。 Rhyming lines， bright colors and fun illustrations。 Perfect for ages 4 and up。 I received a copy from Sourcebooks early review program。

Yaritza ，

I loved the illustrations。 The illustrations were adorable and colorful。 A snowman is created by a group of children for a contest。 A snowman usually comes to life with a hat， but in this book he comes to life with a snow star。 Which many have posted that it references Olaf from Frozen。 The children create many funny traps to try to catch the snowman。 He was so smart that he beat them at their own game。 At the end they never catch him， but he leaves them an amazing gift。 Overall， the book is cut I loved the illustrations。 The illustrations were adorable and colorful。 A snowman is created by a group of children for a contest。 A snowman usually comes to life with a hat， but in this book he comes to life with a snow star。 Which many have posted that it references Olaf from Frozen。 The children create many funny traps to try to catch the snowman。 He was so smart that he beat them at their own game。 At the end they never catch him， but he leaves them an amazing gift。 Overall， the book is cute。 Received the book from Sourcebooks early reads to give an honest review。 。。。more

I loved the reference to frozen。 I like the books that are told from whatever the kids are trying to catch better。 This happens to be told from the snowman。 It was cute and has familiar phrasing in it from Frosty。

Brenda ，

Cute story。

Illustrations are the only reason for the three stars I'm giving。 I payed $10。00 for this book for my boys and after two pages they were bored。 So was I。 It didn't rhyme or anything。 But the pictures were good I will give credit where it is due。 But the story seemed lacking and thrown together。 Illustrations are the only reason for the three stars I'm giving。 I payed $10。00 for this book for my boys and after two pages they were bored。 So was I。 It didn't rhyme or anything。 But the pictures were good I will give credit where it is due。 But the story seemed lacking and thrown together。 。。。more
