Illustrated by
Greg Newbold.
A cartoony artist hamster imagines what it would look like if famous artists painted a snowman in their signature styles. Greg Newbold then inserts snowmen into (impressive) imitations of famous works while spare, vocabulary-expanding text pops on white backgrounds; a final page encourages readers to create their own snowman pictures. Back matter includes short bios of the referenced artists and "advice for artists."
