What I loved: This was a simple story that could be used in school discussions of the water cycle. The text is very brief and mainly talks about the Snowman in terms of what he will become next. The accompanying illustrations are also very simple. Together, this would be a book that could start children thinking more about the water around them, where it has been and where it will go.
What left me wanting more: The story was maybe too simple in places, as it leaves many unanswered questions, and it does not close the gaps. A longer story and more personality to the Snowman may have helped in children engaging with the story better. Some other information about the water cycle could help with making it even more educational as well.
Final verdict: A starter book on the water cycle, THE SNOWMAN AND THE SUN is a simple read that shows the change of snow to water to droplets to cloud and back to snow.
