The Snow Dog's Journey by Loretta KrupinskiMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Story of two kids who create a dog of snow. The dog is kidnapped by the Frost King who takes him to the ice palace. But finally the dog runs away back to the children where he magically turns into a real dog.
Library Media Connection (January/February 2011)
Who hasn't ever let their imagination run wild when trapped inside on a snowy day? Anna and Olen rejoice in the gift of snow from the Frost King by building a unique friend for him: a snow dog. The Frost King has been looking for a companion. At first, Snow Dog is concerned about leaving the children, but he finally joins the Frost King. Children will find a touching story about unconditional love that is reminiscent of The Velveteen Rabbit. On many pages, the illustrations have a folk art border and the style is a subtle blend of pointillism and impressionist colors. Additional Selection.
