The negative reviews of this book are overrated. One complaint was about the grammar. Which the only part that I could find was when the six year old was talking.  An having a seven year old I know they phrase things a little different at times. My guess is that this is a story based off of true events in the authors life, and probably written exactly as her child said it.The other concern was where is mom? Noticing the setting they live in the country. Thing are done differently in the country than the city. You don't have as much to worry about crime wise. Also, I noticed in the story that the snowman was in clear view of the window and mom had hot coco ready for them when she came out. These negative rating remind me of another great book Sir Knighty and the mean ugly dragon that got a few lower starts for no apparent reason.Overall it is a wonderful written book that you and your children will enjoy on a cold winter day with a cup of hot coco.
