A palette of blues and yellows painted against one another create depth and shadow while illuminating the night and casting a moonlit glow on the scenery. Primary colors delicately form the winter wonderland where the secret, active life of these frozen friends is grinningly revealed. The illustrative Buehner uses oil paints over acrylics to bring this idea to dazzling life.
While children sleep, their snowy creations gather for winter fun that includes ice-skating on a pond, hilltop sledding, and an enthusiastic snowball fight. Author Buehner imagines why snowmen may not look the same as they had the day before. The work of this husband-and-wife team best known for The Escape of Marvin the Ape (1992) is always special here it comes together in a delightful story about the nocturnal activities of snowmen that is refreshingly original and visually sparkling.
