In order from Snowmen at Christmas to Snowmen at Night.
Rhyming winter fantasies imagine snowmen coming alive after dark to play, celebrate holidays, work, and explore a year-round world of their own.

The six storybooks are shown in publication order, but each nighttime fantasy stands alone. Snowmen at Night is the natural first read; Snowmen at Play is a sticker activity book rather than a seventh story.
Sources: Penguin Random House Snowmen activity-book description.
The premise is imaginative rather than realistic: snowmen secretly move after people go to sleep. Rhyming text and busy winter scenes invite repeated read-alouds, and Mark Buehner's illustrations often reward children who like looking for small visual details.
Halloween imagery is playful rather than scary, and the Christmas books focus on celebration and community. The series has no lasting danger, though children sensitive to things moving at night may appreciate reassurance that it is make-believe.
