The story
An old photograph shows a snowman with a saucepan for a hat, and your child wants to build one just like it. But it’s summer here: ice melts, and waves tumble sand. Can they find a way to make a Christmas snowman of their own?
Look inside Lucy’s copy
Lucy was helping Grandma unpack the Christmas decorations when an old photograph slipped out of the box.
“Is that you?” asked Lucy, pointing to a little child beside a snowman.
“It certainly is! That’s my grandpa beside me. We built that snowman while travelling one Christmas.”
Lucy leaned closer.
“Why has he got a saucepan on his head?”
Grandma chuckled. “We couldn’t find a hat big enough!”
“Could we make a snowman together, just like that one?” asked Lucy.
“I’d love to,” said Grandma. “But it was snowy on that trip. It’s summer here, so we haven’t got any snow.”
Lucy thought for a moment.
“What about the ice in the freezer?”
“Well,” said Grandma, “we could give it a try.”
Then they found a saucepan in the kitchen cupboard.
“This will be perfect for his hat!”
Grandma wrapped the ice in a clean tea towel.
CRUNCH. CRUNCH. CRUNCH.
Together, they crushed it into little pieces and packed it tightly into bowls.
“Careful with his head,” said Lucy as they stacked the icy shapes.
She added a carrot nose, then lifted the saucepan above him.
Lucy giggled. “It’s almost as big as he is!”
Grandma laughed. “I think our snowman needs a bigger head.”
