We didn't really need more books but I took a chance on this and several other winter-themed books. My almost 4yo daughter absolutely loves this book and I have to admit not minding having to read it night after night. The book flows well and is funny on a number of levels, appropriate for a preschooler as well as having enough wit to amuse adults. I definitely didn't mind growing our book collection with this one!

Martin MacGregor is as ingenious as Dennis the Menace always was, as typical a boy as David Shannon's David, and as delightful to read or listen to. I have been reading this aloud for the last week to our pre-K children on the bookmobile and they love it. Teacher's seem to enjoy it as well. Delightfully colorful pictures add to the fun, and this story helps children realize we all make mistakes that land us in trouble...

Irrepressible, ingenious, and probably impossible if you met him in real life, you have to love Martin. Similar to Dennis the Menace in a way, Martin comes up with one inventive project after another that ends in disaster. Each time it lands him in trouble he takes his punishment with aplomb, simply using his "time outs" to continue obsessing about snow and his inability to build a snowman without it. This is what really strikes...
