Book Review: Frosty the Snowman

In many parts of the US, it is still winter. And prime snowman building season. Frosty the Snowman, illustrated by Wade Zahares with a musical CD by Kenny Loggins is honestly just year-round fun.

I'm lucky enough to know Wade and to have seen some of these amazing pastel paintings in person - note: they are BIG! He has a very unique approach to perspective and high-contrast color palettes that make his work instantly recognizable. Frosty glows almost as much as a real, crisp winter day - magically.

This is my absolute favorite spread in the book. It's a stellar point of view and captures that chase with all the fun intended. The Kenny Loggins version is upbeat but not frenetic - and there are a few other bonus tracks that you'll find your kids popping in on their own. You can find links to many videos of Kenny performing on the Facebook page, here.
