Frosty Is a Stupid Name

"Frosty is a stupid name for a snowman. At least that's what Jenny Whitehouse thinks. It's like naming a dog Furry. Or naming a fish Wetty. Or naming a slug Slimy. Jenny's snowman deserves a good name. No, a great name." Once Jenny settles on Bartholomew as the perfect name for her snowman and puts a hat on his head, he begins to dance around and the two are ushered into a world of make-believe. Jenny enjoys herself immensely until she begins to wonder about the nature of Bartholomew's imagination. Her musings bring the pair back to earth where Jenny sets out to give her snowman the best time a snowman has ever had while there's still time. "I am eminently unqualified to write this book," Troy Wilson says. "I'm a weather wimp." Troy may not have built many snowmen, but he seems to have a pretty good sense of what goes on inside a snowman's head. Troy is also the author of Perfect Man (Orca, 2004). Dean Griffiths has illustrated many books for Orca, most recently Perfect Man. In Frosty is a Stupid Name, he has chosen an unusual setting for a picturebook, a trailer park. He created the illustrations in watercolor.Troy Wilson is the author of 'Frosty Is a Stupid Name', published 2005 under ISBN 9781551433820 and ISBN 1551433826.
