Big Snowman, Little Snowman (Disney Frozen) (Step into Reading, Step 1)

Big Snowman, Little Snowman (Disney Frozen) (Step into Reading) This is a great book for children with in a wide age span. I bought this for my grand children as they both love Disney's Frozen series. This book has several attributes to it that made it a great purchase for me. * Practice book for young readers * Beautiful illustrations * Teaching - compare and contrast * Appropriate length for bed time story My grand children are 16 months and 3. The 3 year old is very interested in reading and learning concepts. She can't read this on her own yet, but she loves that the book is written in a compare and contrast style. It gives two examples through out the book one may be happy and contrasts that with one that is sad. Its a great way to explain opposites and similarities. The younger child simply enjoys the brightly colored illustrations and listening to the story being read. Its a great snuggle time book. Both of the children are getting good use from this one book. That is rare based on their age differences. I am very happy with this purchase. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I almost avoided this book because Olaf (the snowman) seriously annoys me, but I'm glad I picked it up. This is an easy reader with rhyming text that gives examples of opposites from the movie. "Happy sister, sad sister." The narrative (if you can call it that; it's mostly a series of opposites than a storyline) follows the plot of the movie and focuses on Anna and Elsa rather than Olaf. My son is obsessed with Frozen, and this is our favorite Frozen book. I believe we have read them all. I like it because it's well crafted as a beginning reader book, with opposites and rhymes paired with contextual pictures to help my son figure out the text. I point to the words while I read and let my son fill in the blanks or help me sound out some of the words. If you've got a toddler who loves the movie, I highly recommend this book to help teach him or her to read.

same frozen story. you need to actually know the story first, have seen the movie, or read the golden book at least, before reading this book. this book does not tell the story. i't's like little excerpts with easy to read sentences that rhyme and focusing on opposites. For example, "Kristoff goes IN... then OUT again". My almost 4yo daughter LOVES this book. the pictures are great. and she is starting to recognize some of the sight words. i point at them while reading to her. i usually am asked to read this book at every bedtime and requested to read it as many times as i would allow it. Actually I'm just going to include the entire text of the book here, i will capitalize as done in the book. Each line is the text presented on 2 pages facing each other (there are 32 pages). HAPPY sister. SAD sister. At first, Hans seems nice. Elsa runs away. She makes the snow and ice! Anna gets ON her hourse. Ride, Anna, ride! Anna falls OFF. It's cold outside. Anna meets Kristoff. His reindeer is Sven. Kristoff goes IN... then OUT again! Anna and Kristoff go, go, go! Sven climbs FAST. Anna climbs SLOW. Elsa has a palace. Anna enters FIRST. Kristoff enters LAST. Elsa freezes Anna with an ice blast! COLD Olaf dreams of the HOT, HOT sun. LITTLE snowman. BIG snowman! Run! Run! Run! Anna is freezing! She is worried, too. She asks a troll what to do. Watch out! Hans attacks! Anna is in FRONT. Elsa is in BACK. Winter ENDS. Summer STARTS. Anna's act of love has thawed her frozen heart. Olaf APART. Sisters TOGETHER. Elsa, Anna, and Olaf... friends forever!

There are a handful of young girls in our family who are crazy for anything "Frozen". Since I'm always looking for something to get them interested in reading, a Frozen book seemed perfect. I thought the overall story was a little weak. Choppy sentences, and words that Step 1 readers wouldn't know. Our solution is to read the books with the girls, to help with the words they don't know. They're so thrilled to be reading a Frozen book that they don't care how hard it is, or whether they've read it a dozen times already. We'll certainly look for more Frozen books in the future. They're a hit with every little girl we know. And anything that gets young children interested in reading is a hit with us.

Very well done telling of the Frozen movie with words that my 5 year old can read. The pictures from the movie and words that she can read make her love this book. She keeps reading it over and over again, giggling as she reads the sentences on her own. Great for building confidence and a foundation of love for reading

Great intro to reading book. I gave these out in lieu of treat bags at my kindergarten aged daughter's birthday party. It was a huge hit with the girls and their parents! I think it was much cheaper than buying a bunch of junk to put in treat bags, too.

In general this book is good, my 5yo daughter caught on that it's about opposites. She's a good reader but had trouble reading the words in all caps. The opposite words are in all caps. Even words she was familiar with (little, end, start) were difficult to read in all caps. For a level 1 Beginner reader book, I don't think it should have all capital letter words.

Great book for kids!

scoperti per la prima volta in america, e poi ritrovati qui su amazon , questi libri sono senza dubbio un ottimo mezzo per avvicinare i più piccoli ad una nuova lingua. divisi per vari livelli, che dire splendidi

Good one. It highlights the opposites in the book. Suitable for 3-5 years old, who are trying to read on their own.

Fun books to read for everyone. Just mind the reading level for your child.

Great for encouraging reading without it being a militry action. My daughter loves that she can read the film but in a simpler way and independantly, thank you for a quick and unfaultable service.

Books and pictures are nice but the reading matter is very little.
