Description
Three children, one garden, and a very serious debate. Every house on the street had a snowman, and the Girard children were determined that theirs would stand apart. Carrot nose, yes; coal buttons, of course. But what about style? The eldest sneaked into the hallway and returned with their mother’s favorite purple scarf, the one she wore to the theatre. The youngest found an old black hat in the shed.
When their mother came home and saw her scarf wrapped around a snowman’s neck, she opened her mouth to scold them, then started laughing instead. He really did look marvelous. People slowed their cars to admire him, and he lasted until the thaw. This box captures that fashionable fellow. It is a happy gift for someone who loves purple, a knitter who always makes scarves for Christmas, or anyone whose winter wardrobe is a little more daring than most.
