The text is sprightly with a to-the-point rhyme scheme that only occasionally verges on singsong. From the cover, where snow people frolic in the moody blues of evening to the scene of a city street where holiday lights cast a mellow glow to the quiet picture of a lightening morning sky, children will be enchanted by the hues of the acrylic artwork. As in the previous book, Buehner does magical things with light in his paintings.
It's not what happens here (primarily a visit from a snow Santa and some carols 'round a tree) but the rich art that makes this special. This time they are enjoying the Christmas season, venturing out during the moonlit night (while children sleep) to gather in the town square. One of the more charming new books of the holiday season, this reintroduces the jolly snowmen (and women) from Snowmen at Night (2002).
