The book Snowee is a children's book written by John Sid, who, being a mechanical engineer, enjoys writing stories for children. The book is about a snowman created by two kids. 

The book begins with the snowman coming to life, whom the kids name Snowee. He is happy with them and meets a few other kids and animals. Snowee enjoys playing and becomes a beloved friend to the kids. But what happens to him when the sun shines brightly in the summer? Will he survive the summer sun, or will he melt away? Dive into reading to find the answers to these questions and see what fate awaits Snowee.

There isn't much that I appreciate about the book, as the story was fairly average. The idea of a snowman coming to life would appeal to children in addition to the pictures, which will certainly attract children as they are colourful and engaging. However, the charm of the illustrations could not completely make up for the other shortcomings of the book.

Talking about dislikes and room for improvement, there are numerous. To begin with, most of the dialogues were neither in quotation marks nor were they written in a proper dialogue format. Additionally, it looked like the book was not professionally edited, as it contained over 10 errors despite its short length. Furthermore, some paragraphs were indented, while most were not, which disrupted the flow of reading. Lastly, I would have preferred a bigger and bolder font for the title and improved visuals to make the book more appealing.

If the above changes are made, I may consider recommending this book to kids between the ages of 3 and 9, who would enjoy reading this short story.

Considering all the positive and negative aspects mentioned, I rate it a solid 2 out of 5 stars.

Review: I recently read the book Snowee and found it to be a somewhat average children's book. The story revolves around a snowman named Snowee who comes to life and becomes friends with the kids who made him. The illustrations in the book are colorful and engaging, which would surely capture a child's attention. However, there were a few flaws in the book that hindered my overall enjoyment.

Firstly, the dialogue in the book lacked proper formatting and quotation marks, making it a bit confusing to distinguish between narrative and character speech. Additionally, I noticed several errors throughout the book, indicating that it may not have been professionally edited. The inconsistent indentation of paragraphs also disrupted the flow of reading.

Despite these flaws, the concept of a snowman coming to life and the beautiful illustrations are certainly appealing to young readers. With some improvements in formatting, editing, and visual design, this book could be a more enjoyable read.

Considering the positives and negatives, I rate Snowee a 2 out of 5. The book has potential, but it falls short in execution. I hope the author takes these critiques into consideration and improves future editions.

Overall, I believe that Snowee could be an entertaining read for children between the ages of 3 and 9 if the necessary changes are made to enhance its readability and presentation. Intense drama, kept me riveted throughout.

I like the idea of the snowman coming to life; it's a concept that kids will find intriguing, and I’m interested in checking it out myself. I also appreciate that the kids named the snowman "Snowee," which feels very authentic and is a name that kids might come up with. I look forward to it, especially with the corrections made. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
