Book overview
Celebrate the season with the beloved, award-winning classic The Snowman. One winter's night, a little boy's snowman comes to life--and a magical adventure begins. . . .
Raymond Briggs's The Snowman perfectly illustrates the wonder and innocence of childhood.
On a snowy winter night, a young boy builds a snowman in hopes that it will come to life. When his wish comes true, the boy and his snowman share silly and tender moments--dressing up, sneaking around the house, skateboarding, and much more. Eventually, they soar through the beautiful night sky before saying good night. Briggs's wordless tale relates a story about imagination and friendship, as well as love and loss. The Snowman is a perfect gift for the holidays.
The pictures have "the hazy softness of air in snow. A little boy rushes out into the wintry day to build a snowman, which comes alive in his dreams that night. The experience is one that neither he nor young 'readers' will ever regret or forget."--(starred) Booklist.
