Publisher Description
A heartwarming seasonal story with an uplifting message about friendship and having confidence in yourself.
Format: Paperback book and CD
Little Nell's family thinks she's too small to really accomplish anything. But one snowy winter day, while Nell is playing with her forest friends Reindeer, Hare, and Bear Cub, her friends encourage her to build a snowman. Though Nell is unsure of herself at first, with the support and help of her friends, she creates a marvelous snowman. Nell's wondrous creation shows everyone that she IS capable of accomplishing anything she puts her mind to--and that great things often come in "little" packages!
A powerful lesson about self-confidence and a cozy winter treat in one.

"I read this book as a read aloud for students in my practicum. Great story about how everyone, even those that are small, are capable of big things. Students were able to relate to this story. Good story for winter with a good theme!"

Quotes
-
“Frustrated youngsters will find a champion in Little Nell.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“This funny winter’s tale from Cuyler features a girl who needs a boost of confidence to get past the teasing of her overwhelming. overbearing mother and sisters.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Jane Casserly’s sweet voice champions Nell while voicing the large characters with great bluster. Young listeners will respond to the repetition as Nell and company pat, mat, bat, roll, nudge, kick, and push a fabulous snowman into being. The musical accompaniment underscores the story’s climax as tokens of endearment are bestowed on Nell.”

" I think this book could lead into a lesson on snow and what it is made of which could introduce a discussion on solids and liquids. This book would be best for fourth or fifth grade. "
