Seasonal Penguin Random House LLC | The Snowman

Who Needs Words To Tell A Story? In Raymond Briggs’S Charming Tale, Told With 175 Softly Hued, Artfully Composed Frames, A Little Boy Makes Friends With A Snowman. He Wakes Up On A Snowy Day, Tells His Mother He’S Going Outside, Then Begins A Flurry Of Snowman-Building. That Night, He Can’T Sleep, So He Opens The Front Door And Lo! The Snowman Has Come To Life. The Amiable Yet Frosty Fellow Enjoys His Tour Of The Boy’S Cozy Home; He Admires The Cat, But Is Disturbed By The Fire. The Boy Shows Him Other Wonders–The Tv And A Lamp And Running Water. Predictably Perhaps, He Is Disturbed By The Stove, But Likes Ice Cubes Quite A Bit. Soon It Is The Snowman’S Turn To Introduce The Boy To His Wintry World. They Join Hands, Rise Up Into The Blizzardy Air–Presumably Over Russia And Into The Middle East–And Then Safely Back To Home Sweet Home.
