How was the experience of working to create Snowmen at Halloween? Mark and Caralyn Buehner are a husband-and-wife team who have created many picture books together, Caralyn as author and Mark as an illustrator.What motivated her to write picture books for children and what was the inspiration behind Snowmen at Halloween.

Snowmen at Halloween is available for pre-order on Amazon! When the kids wake up the next morning, the snowmen are gone… but they’ve left a very special message behind. And when the kids go off to bed, the snowmen have their own Halloween festival! There’s candy and apple-bobbing and costume contests and all sorts of autumn activities. what do snowmen do when we’re not watching?Īfter an early snowfall, a few kids build some snowmen before going trick-or-treating. Have you ever built a snowman and discovered the next day that his grin has gotten a little crooked, or his tree-branch arms have moved? And you’ve wondered.

(Picture book.The snowmen are getting their Halloween costumes ready for the latest picture book in this New York Times bestselling series. Fans and those looking for books about occupations may find themselves looking askance at every snowman they see. A seek-and-find element adds to the fun of poring over the pages-a cat, rabbit, T-rex and mouse are hidden in each painting. Hat, mitten and scarf styles add personality to the characters-don’t miss the librarian’s and teacher’s. Especially fun is the pet store, where all the animals are made of snow: a snow rabbit with carrot ears, a snow monkey swinging from the lights and “coldfish” in a tank. Each work scene is filled with familiar occupational details, like the clip that attaches the dentist’s cloth around patients’ necks and the decorations that adorn the classroom-it’s just the characters that seem out of place to 98.6-degree readers. The Buehners continue their snowmen-come-to-life shtick with this look at occupations.Ī boy who made a snowman the night before awakens to find new snow on the ground but already-cleared walkways-by his snowman? “Was he the one who shoveled, with a snowman shoveling crew? / Could it be I just don’t see that snowmen have jobs too?” Caralyn Buehner’s rhyming verses then lead readers in an imaginative tour of other jobs snowmen might have: mechanic (for sleds), grocer, baker, magician, firefighter, “pizza man,” factory worker and truck driver.
