If you don't know the answer to this question, you need to read this book. As the first snow falls and the town's kids are afflicted with a cold, the town is faced with "troubles ahead." It's Snow Alligators vs. Snowmen that the kids need to build. The fierce and tall Snowmen need to scare off and keep away the Snow Alligators, just like scarecrows keep away pests from a garden.But the kids are sick and cannot go outside. So, in the absence of Snowmen, Snow Alligators are taking over: the mailman steps on their tails, the town's inhabitants try  hard to escape and not end up in "Snow Alligator's stew." Despite the cold weather, things are heating up in this delightful book. Forts are being build, defenders are on a vigil, and the whole town is on alert.So what caused all this chaos? It was the violation of one of the main rules of winter: Snowmen must be build with the first winter snow. Point well-taken. Time to finish the review and get busy. A really fun book!!
