This isn't a thing here in VA, but snow on Halloween was for real in Omaha. I'm not entirely sure why we even had costumes, since they were under layers of coats and scarves. I appreciated that snowmen get to celebrate a different holiday than normal in this one.

The Buehners are back with another Snowmen book, this time celebrating Halloween! When snow comes early, the children in this picturesque village make Halloween snowmen, dressing them up in seasonal costumes. When the children head home, the snowmen come alive and enjoy their own celebration, carving jack-o-lanterns, eating caramel apples, and listening to ghost stories. Although the cold snap ends, and the snowmen are melted by morning, they have left a friendly 'Happy Halloween' for their creators...

The fifth book from this husband and wife team about the nighttime adventures of a group of snowmen - previous titles include Snowmen at Night, Snowmen at Christmas, Snowmen All Year and Snowmen at Work - Snowmen at Halloween pairs a rhyming text describing the secret fun had by these snowy beings with luminous illustrations. As with previous titles, there is also a search-and-find element, as each page contains a hidden rabbit, cat and T-Rex to be found in the artwork. Although I did feel that the rhymes here were a little awkward, the entertaining premise, beautiful artwork, and interactive element will all make it a fun Halloween title for the picture-book set, I believe.
