About Snowmen at Night
The New York Times Bestseller, Snowmen at Night, was written by Caralyn Buehner and illustrated by her husband, Mark Buehner. This popular, winter story features a little boy waking up to see his snowman looking a little droopy and wondering what the snowman must be doing at night while he’s asleep. Through his imagination, we see all of the neighborhood snowmen drinking hot cocoa, making snow angels and even playing baseball in the park! Buehner’s wonderful illustrations perfectly depict the snowmen’s happiness as they let loose while the rest of the neighborhood is asleep.
