Voice-over narration, thematic music and the artist's hand combine to bring this classic tale to colorful life. Four friends build a snowman and unknowingly roll the fireplace shovel into the biggest snowball that is the snowman's body. At night the snowman comes to life and becomes good friends with Sparky, the family dog. He confides his innermost dream of traveling to the sun to Sparky and also tells him how badly he'd like to see what a fireplace looks like. The next morning the children discover that their snowman has vanished and in its place is just a scarf, a hat, and a small metal shovel half buried in the snow. (Paper Cut-Outs).
