This book is great for my three-year-old because, as the fourth child, he is often overwhelmed with all the busyness of our family and has been heard to say, "Leave me alone." But, just like the snowman, he doesn't mean it. This book gave me ways to talk to him about his confusing emotions. He's already asked me to read it again!

This book tells a great story of friendship and bravery. It also teaches kids that it is important to express how we are feeling and not keep it bottled up . . . children will feel inspired by Bigsby and his ability to make new friends and will take that lesson into their lives.

This book is beautifully illustrated and it speaks at a level children will understand about friendship as well as finding your voice to share with others about how you feel. It is humorous (I love the little dog with the sticks! So funny!) but it also touches you on a more deeper level. A teacher's addition to the classroom for sure!

Loved this book! Will definitely read it to all my young nieces and nephews. Will probably purchase a few more copies to give as gifts. Shelli Johnson has a gift that cannot be ignored!
