In this poetic tale, beautifully illustrated entirely with wildlife photographs, the
animals of the deep woods awake, after a winter storm, to the news of a
stranger lurking in their midst. The deer, muskrat, mouse, rabbit, cardinal,
porcupine, and many others sing a song of excitement about this strange, yet
friendly creature with the carrot nose. And after the animals discover the
feast this wondrous snowman has to offer, the children who built him vow to
replenish their snowman's facial features until winter has long faded away.
