Rezensionen: PreS-Gr. 2. In this raucous twist on a favorite tale, a woman strides through a winter wonderland devouring a very peculiar lineup of objects, including a pipe, coal, tree branches, and a black hat. Colandro offers weak explanations for the "cold woman's" bizarre appetite, but things become somewhat clearer when the woman finally spits everything back out, and the items assemble themselves into a grinning snowman. Lines such as "She swallowed the stick to push down the snow" certainly force the theme, but children will enjoy chanting along to the cumulative, rolling rhymes, which put a seasonal twist on the familiar poem. Lee's cartoon art extends the absurd humor in delightful drawings of the manic woman gobbling her strange meal. Gillian Engberg
