THE BIGGEST, BEST SNOWMAN

In a house deep in the snowy woods, everything is big--Big Mama, Big Lizzie, and Big Sarah--and then there's Little Nell. Ask as she does, no one accepts Nell's offers to help in the house. It's Reindeer, Bear Cub, and Hare who inspire confidence in Nell. Could she help them make a snowman? Jane Casserly's sweet voice champions Nell while voicing the large characters with great bluster. Young listeners will respond to the repetition as Nell and company pat, mat, bat, roll, nudge, kick, and push a fabulous snowman into being. The musical accompaniment underscores the story's climax as tokens of endearment are bestowed on Nell. A.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
