Though Emma feels unwelcome in her new neighborhood, her fantasy life gives her confidence: "If I could make friends with someone like Mr. Bear, I guess I could make friends with some neighborhood kids." The problem is resolved too easily, but the essential point about imagination being a source of strength is a keeper. The art's flower-garden hues nicely counterpoint the urban gray.

After building a snowman, Owen wonders how to keep it from melting. That night, the boy finds himself sucked up into a snowman-shaped space ship and taken to a factory that repurposes snowmen. The story, though convoluted, is imaginative, as are the illustrations of the tale's strange, snowy world.
