It’s time for Big Bear to hibernate, so Old Man Winter keeps telling him: “Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep.” But Big Bear doesn’t hear very well. He thinks Old Man Winter has told him to drive a jeep, to sweep, and to leap. Big Bear just can’t seem to hear what Old Man Winter is saying. Finally, Old Man Winter finds a noisy way to get Big Bear’s attention. Cozy illustrations rendered in pencil and mixed media by Will Hillenbrand bring this bedtime story to a fitting conclusion.

Zábavný a poučný príbeh o prechladnutom snehuliakovi. Snehuliakovi je hrozná zima, prechladol a stále kýcha. Chŕ-chŕ-chŕ, hap-čí! Preto mu deti dali meno "Kýchalko". Aby sa zahrial, pije horúce kakao, sadne si do vírivky alebo stojí pri ohníku - a začne sa topiť. Deti však dobre vedia, ako ho postaviť na nohy, a postarajú sa, aby vyzdravel. Veselosť stránok dotvárajú hravé ilustrácie. Zábavné príhody učia deti vcítiť sa do problémov iných ľudí a pomôcť im ich vyriešiť. Nad knihou sa môžeme zabaviť aj tak, že spočítame predmety na stránke alebo sa pozhovárame s deťmi o obrázkoch a výrazných emóciách, ktoré z nich možno vyčítať. Nádherná zimná kniha Snehuliak Kýchalko rozpráva najmä o láske, láskavosti a duchu zimy.
