About the book
First let me say that the rhyming in this book is perfect and the watercolour illustrations are truly beautiful. Snowman Paul and his friend Dan are going to immerse you in a fun Halloween adventure that includes, aliens, dragons, a red-headed witch and a very mean ghost. They invite you to join them in a spooky game and song and encourage you to huddle with them in case something goes wrong.
There are warning signs posted as you enter into the story that build up excitement and suspense as you strive to reach the party's destination. The venue is a big old tree house positioned high atop a tree having a backdrop of a black night sky and a full moon. The Halloween night is shrouded in an eery ambiance of caution. Oh my ... dare you attempt to proceed?
Luckily the author balances the spookiness of the night with adorable characters and humour so little ones can join right in the fun and not be frightened. Kids will love this holiday-themed book and it is spot on for beginner readers to enjoy. I highly recommend this book and all the books in the "Snowman Paul" series.

Meet the author
From the Author:
Children will fall in love with Snowman Paul! He is energetic and playful, he has big dreams and he is not afraid to be different.
Yossi Lapid was born in a small town in Romania where toy stores were absent, but snowmen were abundant. The bright white carpet that covered the ground after the first snow-fall always appeared to him like the blank opening page in a magical book still waiting to be written. In his imagination, the imprints of his small feet would become the first words of many fantastic winter adventures. So, it was inevitable perhaps that he would one day write a children's book about a snowman called Paul. However, it was not inevitable that he would write in rhymes, so he wonders what happened, sometimes...
As a first-time author, Lapid's multi-volume series titled Snowman Paul won the silver medal in the 2016 Moonbeam Award competition in the best picture book series category. Subsequent volumes in 2017 have won Mom's Choice and Reader's Favorite gold medals. Lapid was previously a college professor with a Ph.D. from Colombia University. He has three children and lives with his wife Susan and a little dog named Sasha in New Mexico. For more information go to: www.snowmanpaul.com.
