A Really Good Snowman

On the day of the big snowman-building contest, Jack goes to join Angie and Melden in the park, with his tag-along little sister, Nancy, sticking to him like glue. Nancy loves to help Jack, but her "help" can be disastrous, so he's relieved to find that the rules say no more than three to a team. Then he sees that this time Nancy is the one who needs help, and to his own surprise, he pitches in . . . and enjoys it!

In this lively story, the tensions of a big brother-little sister relationship are more than balanced by the underlying bond of affection and loyalty. The engaging animal characters who made their debut in The Saturday Escape discover that a good idea and lots of snow are important, but it's teamwork that makes a really good snowman.
