This is the third book in the Abiligal series. My kids and I read the first one, and skipped to number three because it was spring themed. As far as I can tell the order you read them in doesn't matter much, they are kids early readers so there are no long story arcs or anything.As with the other Abigal and her pet Zombie books, my 4 year old daughter, and 8 year old son just get a kick out of it. She just loves when she sees the dog run away with the zombie's leg.The illustrations are wonderfully done and really engage the kids. They are cute and drawn in a very tasteful manner so nothing is gross or gory. There is between 1 and three short sentences per page, so it's very easy for your early readers to follow along. My kids were raised in the south and don't really have any experience with snow, so it was exciting for them to see Abigail waiting for spring to come after all the snow.I'm always glad to find books that my two younger kids love and want to keep reading. The bad part for me(just like the other Abigail book) is they want me to read it over and over and over, and over...and over.The message for the kids in this book is keep trying and don't ever give up. And sometimes you have to rely on friends for help, even if it's a little scary .I love when the kids learn life lessons and don't even realize it.
