One snow day a girl wanted to go outside to play with her dog, Max, who only wanted to stay indoors. After convincing her dog to go outside, the girl wanted to build a snowman, but Max said it should be a snow dog. The two start building their snow dog, and when they are finished they say it does not look like Max. When a boy comes by and asks them what they made, Max says it is a "snow thing." This book shows how being outdoors, and not staying inside all day, can be fun. ( )
