Summary

Most of us know about snow people already, but this book will make us fall in love with them. Laughing Elephant’s 2005 publication The Truth About Easter Rabbits was so popular that we followed it up with this survey of snow men, snow women, snow children, and snow animals.


The Truth About Snow People uses a great variety of sources to provide a comprehensive view of snow peoples’ creation, personalities, appearances, hobbies, family lives, and even what happens to them after they melt. The book includes old postcards, Victorian scraps, and pictures from antique picture books, children’s readers, and magazines from Laughing Elephant’s storied collection.


This book delves into the secret life of snowmen, women, children, and animals through vintage illustrations and images from Laughing Elephant’s vault. This is the perfect book for the winter season, snowy days, and creative kids. Give it to your child and watch a new world of imagination open up for them.
