Translated by Marianne Martens.
Illustrated by
Uli Waas.
Three lonely snowmen try joining groups of people celebrating on Christmas Eve but are deterred by the heat and crowds they find indoors. Spirits are low until they are found by children who build a street full of snow people to celebrate together. While the illustrations are cheerful, the snowmen characters aren't developed enough to gather sympathy for their plight.
