Bookroo's summary

Young Harry crafts a tiny snow king from a scarce snowfall. When it mysteriously vanishes, he questions everyone, even considering the police. Could the snow king have left to summon more snow? The next morning, Harry's yard holds an enchanting surprise, hinting at a magical twist in his snowy adventure.

From the publisher

Harry waited and waited for the snow to come. And when it did finally fall, it fell only in the slightest, lightest dusting he could barely see. But Harry went out anyway, with a spoon and plate, carefully scooped out just enough, and made a small, small snow king. And then–when he went inside for lunch, his snow king disappeared! Who took it? Harry asked his mother, his sister, nice Mr. Oakley on his tractor–he even wanted to ask the police! No one had seen his snow king. There was only one hope: that the Snow King had gone to order more snow. And the next morning, when Harry looked out his window, he saw something amazing in his yard… 32 pages (all in color), 8 3/4 x 10 1/2. NEW IN PAPERBACK.
