Product Information

After exploring the upper world for some time, they saw a lake. By the lake burned a campfire with a teepee beside it. By the teepee were two young bear cubs. The animals asked the cubs where their mother was and were told she was off hunting. Inside the teepee a big, round bag was hanging up. The animal visitors pointed to the bag and asked the cubs, "What is in this bag?" The other snowmen are much fancier than Drift and don’t include him in their snowman games. One day, three children change that for him, fancying him up. But after a snowstorm blows away most of his new clothes and a helpless bunny needs his help, Drift learns how to be the most perfect snowman. This fantastic winter story is a great way to engage children in their learning, reading about fantastic tales and magical creatures. It can be used in lots of different ways to support learning and development in reading and the English language. Olivia yawned. "Teddy, it's too soon!" said Olivia, scratching her head.
