Have you ever wondered what snowmen do at night?  This cute picture book answers that question.  In addition to the wonderfully, charming pictures, you learn that snowmen love to do some of the same things human children do.  They do things such as: sledding, ice skating, snowball fights and many other activities.  Maybe that is why when we see a snowman the next morning they look a little disheveled.  Now we know why.

I Love You More Than Chocolate - Melanie Milburn
Publisher:  InstantPublisher.com
Source:  Review copy received from author for review
Genre:  Children's Picture Book

This lovely book came about because of a rhyming game the author played nightly with her daughter at bedtime.  They played the "I Love You More" game.  I think almost every parent plays a similar game with their children.  The daughter was inspired to turn the game into a picture book and even included a cd of the author singing "I Love You More Than Chocolate", in the back of the book.  Read the book and discover and share with your child how much they are loved, even more than chocolate.  Cindy Coleman has done an excellent job of illustrating this book.
