    About The Snowman

    Illus. in full color. A wordless story. 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.

    About The Snowman

    Based on Raymond Briggs’s classic, this beautiful illustrated Step into Reading book describes the exciting things that happen to James and his magical snowman.

    About The Snowman

    The beloved, award-winning classic The Snowman celebrates its 40th anniversary! 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. This board book edition of The Snowman is a perfect gift for the holidays.
