The Snowman Waltz
By Karen Konnerth, Illustrated by Emily Neilson
One-two-three waltzing Snowmen and one-two-three-four marching Penguins on a frozen pond can only lead to trouble - UNLESS they Stop! Listen! and Learn! from each other! In rhythmically rhyming verse that brings the winter scene to life, the Snowmen and Penguins come to share and appreciate the footwork of their newfound partners in a joyful celebration of tolerance and friendship. The fun and lyrical illustrations by Emily Neilson engage readers ages 2 - 6.
And, the contrasting rhythms encourage participation and learning for elementary music education standards!
The story is followed by a piano chord chart to play and sing The Snowman Waltz as well as a diagram for fingers to dance it!
“ The rhyming text catches the beat of both groups and will have readers eager to try out their own march or waltz moves, as well as read the story again!”
“Karen Konnerth’s The Snowman Waltz enjoys lovely illustrations by Emily Neilson as it follows a dozen snowmen that make their way through the woods sporting classy top hats and matching mittens. Their dance brings them to equally exuberant penguins that seem to move to a different tune. Can the two join their disparate forces? Counting, marching, and colorful displays mark a story replete in educational opportunities for read-aloud parents.”
