Skinny Snowman & Learn How to Draw a Snowman.

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 11:44:00 -0600

Help me quick!

Is my snowman sick?

His body is wasting away!

He used to be fat

With a belly to pat,

But now he gets slimmer each day.

He doesn't work out,

He just stands about.

So why is he still losing weight?

With temperatures higher

He seems to perspire.

Let it snow before it's too late!

Illustration by Kevin Scott Collier. For a fun, interactive way to read Skinny Snowman, click HERE. Intellitools has a a simple click-through storybook for the winter season with silly graphics complementing the poem.
