Who can resist the tale of children enjoying the fun of building Frosty, when suddenly to their astonishment, he comes alive! The children in the neighborhood have never had a better winter of sledding, ice skating, and building snow houses, until one day, a warm wind blows. What will happen to Frosty? 8 1/2" X 11 3/4".

    This oversize format features Scarry’s earlier, more painterly style and makes a perfect gift. A true holiday treat for Scarry fans!

    This book has the following lines: "When the Christmas Star is shining in the dark blue sky at night, / Did you ever start to wonder how it got to be so bright? / Well, some special little angels(just the very smallest size) / Use to have the job of shining all the stars up in the skies./An alarm clock rang at sundown--(when most children go to bed!) / Waking Pigtails, walking Crewcut, waking little Touslehead." Note: there is a current version available with illustrations by Charlot Byi, though not will all the original ''extras'' like the manger scene and the whistle.

    In one illustrated volume are the traditional prayers, biblical text, historical notes, song lyrics and a play for children to perform. Also included is an audio CD with sample music.
