Synopsis
It seems to Kelly like she's the only kid who doesn't know how to ice skate. Then she meets Snowden, a very special snowman. Snowden doesn't know how to ice-skate either, so he and Kelly agree to help each other. Soon Kelly finds out that a little magic and a lot of practice go a long way! This charming story features Nancy Carlson's trademark energetic illustrations and the most lovable snowman since Frosty.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Snowden, star of a television special featuring Ekaterina Gordeeva, appears in this picture-book spin-off. Kelly, who is embarrassed by her secondhand boy's ice skates and her rusty skating ability, builds an enormous snowman. When she hangs her grandpa's skates around his neck, Snowden comes to life. He is no great shakes on skates himself, but the two decide that with "a little magic and a lot of practice," they will improve their skills. Without benefit of formal instruction, Kelly soon dazzles her former mockers with an axel, sit spin, and spiral. Carlson's bright, heavily outlined, cartoon-style drawings, a bit flat in depicting the humans, are charming when showing Snowden's animal friends on ice. However, the simply executed snowman looks two-dimensional and inert. As they execute their spins, Kelly and Snowden sprout rings around their bodies that bring to mind hula hoops rather than evoking grace on ice. A bit derivative of and no competition for Raymond Briggs's ultimate snow pal, Snowden is an additional purchase where there is demand. Otherwise, Carlson is at her best with her own well-loved cast of characters.
