New Arrivals: Wordless Picture Book: Snowman's Story

This one is a real sweetheart, very retro.

Snowman's Story
Will Hillenbrand
ISBN: 9781477847879
Soft-edged pastels? watercolor pencils? lead us through a wordless tale of theft, ingenuity, and forgiveness.

This is a very sweet book to look through, and I wish I had the talent to use wordless books for storytimes.

Forest animals have gathered all the necessary ingredients for their magic, and they've made a Snowman to read them a story this wintry evening.  After everyone's asleep, rabbit has a sneaky idea - and off he runs with the book!  Snowman and furry friends in hot pursuit, they solve a series of "going on a bear hunt" level obstacles, and chase down rabbit at home, where the book is being enjoyed by a slew of rabbitlings.  Awww.  The book is returned, forgiveness granted, and a new set of animals (including the rabbit family this time) snuggles around Snowman for another story.
