The Snowman: A Classic Children's Book

First, we loved the "original" video version of this story. Now we also love the book version!The kids used to watch the video, back in the days of VHS! They used to request it when not feeling well, resting on the couch.... till it became a family tradition. Now, the grand children have the DVD format to enjoy, with similar soothing experience. Highly recommend getting the DVD with this book.Soothing, restful, and happily beautiful artwork, sweet story line with a charming little boy. Exceptional quality (memorized) music from the video plays in our heads when we look through this book.The story is wordless, so non-readers can tell the story of this brief but unforgettable friendship in their own words. Images are like screen shots from the video, in more than 175 picture frames.Glad to find this, matching the original video rather than the updated video version.

I ordered this book when I read that the author/ illustrator had passed away that day. The AMAZING thing about this beautiful book are its illustrations and and the fact that there are no words, only the words the reader chooses to say while looking at the pictures. It's perfect for beginner readers who can make their own story or adults who read to littles.

It is just as magical as the show. The illustrations are unmatched and it makes for such a magical, nostalgic winter tale for kids of all ages to enjoy. We love it!

I've loved animated version of The Snowman since I was little during there 80s. I didn't realize it was published during the 70s (which makes sense!), but it's timeless! Anyone who loves the magic of snow and imagination will be moved by this story. It reads like a comic book, except with incredible, hand drawn illustrations. No text, so any age may enjoy the story.

The media could not be loaded. Not the original book—this is accompanied by words and illustrations as seen in the movie. Still the same stark ending.

I fondly remember reading The Snowman and telling my mom the story growing up. Now that I have my own child, I’ve purchased this book so we can do the same in the future. It holds up and is such a beautifully illustrated story. Really really happy with this purchase.

I remember watching the movie short that aired on tv. I only recently came across the book after getting the movie short on dvd. This is a fun book that all kids will like. There are no words to read on the book. It is all pictures. The art work for the book is great. The story might not have words but that is what I think it is great about it because you are able to follow the story with no problems. My son really likes the book and loves the art work too. So if you have kids then this another great book to share with them.

'The Snowman' has been required viewing in my house since I saw the first broadcast in England in 1982. Now that I am back in the US (in what turned out to be an anniversary year) I wanted to introduce my American nieces and nephews to it. It wasn't easy to track down as the UK publishers told me it wasn't available in the US due to copyright but Amazon to the rescue. So, now my American family hopefully have a delightful English story of winter magic to add to their annual reading of 'Polar Express'. Maybe one for christmas Eve and one for Christmas night.Everyone in the family was entranced by the beautiful drawings, probably some of the most evocative I have ever seen. And I foresee a few years of young nieces perfecting the telling of the story. After all, it's a story without words. Absolutely perfect for my 18 month and 4 yr old nieces who are just developing language skills and whose imaginations need developing.

The package arrived in great shape. The story and illustrations are timeless. The CD was great!

Beautiful work wonderful story

I thought it would be just pictures because you can’t really tell what it’s like inside from description. Beautiful book can’t wait to read it with my Grandson
