Two woodland friends spot a mysterious pile of snow decked out with
funny objects which they put to use in unintended and highly original
ways, proving that things are what you make of them
One morning, a squirrel and a chipmunk find the oddest things stuck in a
giant pile of snow. Readers will recognize a snowman, but the two
friends have their own ideas about what they've found. The top hat is a
tall rowboat; the carrot nose is a rare dragon's tooth; and the mittens,
of course, are fish puppets. The squirrel and the chipmunk wonder what
all of these items are doing in a giant pile of snow, but when they take
them home they figure out just what to do with them. The tall rowboat
makes a perfect table; the rare dragon's tooth makes a delicious soup;
and the fish puppets make amazing hats! They throw a dragon tooth soup
party for all their friends, and the next morning they put (almost)
everything back, nearly where they found. Readers will still see a
snowman, but they'll also see how the snowman can be so much more.
