Little Rabit has made a wonderful snowman. He doesn't want to leave him! "He is just a snowman," says Daddy. "He isn't real." But when Little Rabbit gets lost in the snow, a soft light sparkles through the trees and a very special friend appears to take him on a magical journey home . . .
This book obviously has echoes of the Raymond Briggs classic, The Snowman. It's a really sweet story, probably more suitable for a younger age group, perfect to snuggle up with as a wintry bedtime story. I love Alison Edgson's illustrations because her animals are so gorgeously soft and fluffy you could be forgiven for attempting to reach out and stroke them. You can't really tell from the picture, but the snowman is glittery on every page, and a bit of glitter is always rather nice at Christmas!
So, to get your hands on a copy, please comment below telling me what you would most like to build out of snow and find come to life. I will pick my favourite. Keep it clean, please, it's a kids' book!
I would like to sculpt a gigantic snow Tigger to come to life! I think my kids would love all that bouncing!

An orchestra - my granddaughter loves music and it would make all the wonderful Christmas songs come to life for her.
ReplyDeletea unicorn - it would have to be magical to come to life so it could take us to the magical unicorn land on its back to see all the other magical creatures like pegasus and mermaids !

A Large picture book with penguins dancing on each page, polar bears holding the book and snowmen listening to the story.
