If you were a snowman, what job would you choose? Ten years ago, on the publication of Snowmen at Night, we discovered the secret lives of snowmen. While we humans sleep, the snowmen go sledding, play baseball, and drink cocoa. But now it's revealed that snowmen don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town. This fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Snowmen series is a gleeful, goofy delight. Kids will love spotting the silly details in each illustration, and the hidden pictures too. (They can look on the back side of the book jacket for a key to all that's concealed within.)

Inside, they made a grim discovery: Scott's frozen body lay between the bodies of two fellow explorers. They had died just eleven miles from the depot of supplies which might have saved them. Why did Scott's meticulously laid plans finally end in disaster, while his rival, Norwegian Roald Amundsen, returned safely home with his crew after attaining the Pole only days before the British team? In a newly revised and updated version of her original book, Diana Preston, returns to Antarctica and explores why Scott's carefully planned expedition failed, ending in tragedy.

Aided by family members from seven states and his brother's church congregation, they encountered impossible weather conditions, impenetrably steep mountains, and the complete loss of clues. Going home for Christmas, they returned with a new perspective and resources. With bleary eyes, physical exhaustion, humility, and prayers, thousands volunteered and miracles happened. The search wasn't just about finding the plane as many discovered a richer, more fulfilling life. Sharing their feelings and experiences, this book promises to uplift and leave you warmed by the love our Heavenly Father shows during periods of adversity and by the faith, dignity and courage exhibited by Janis, the wife of the pilot, and other family members as they waited in limbo with hope in their hearts.
