Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This wonderful wordless picture book is, incredibly, now 20 years old! To celebrate publishers Hamish Hamilton have issued this superb edition complete with a silver embossed dust jacket to enhance the beauty and magic of Raymond Briggs' unforgettable classic.
This story of a young boy's delight in the snow, the snowman he builds and their magical adventure is a delight to share with all children. Narrated entirely through pictures, it captures the innocence and wonder of childhood with its soft, dreamlike illustrations and has become an intrinsic part of Christmas. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Product Description
This is the classic edition of the now famous Christmas tale. James builds a snowman in the garden and wakes up in the night to find that it has come to life. He shows the Snowman his house, and in return, the Snowman takes him on a magical journey.

Format:Paperback
This is one of the all time favourite books of our two children currently aged 4 and 6. Whenever it's Christmas or snowing and time for a bedtime story, you just know this will be the one they drag out for you to "read". I say read because there are no words - the story is 100% told in pictures and I think that is the involvement they enjoy as we talk about what is going on in each scene.
A magical story, illustrated in a style that matches the story being conveyed very well, guaranteed to draw you in regardless of your age!

Very good for a school age child. Toddlers and very young children would enjoy listening to Mum & Dad read this, while older children would find it an easy read. Can be linked to the film which is nice.

classic book that doesn't disappoint.
A classic story that appears timeless. This version is ideal for very young children who tend to rip the pages from normal books
