Summary: Take a Journey with The Snowman
Comment: The Snowman by Raymond Briggs (Random House, 1978), is a beautifully done wordless picture book. A little boy builds a snowman, and then goes to bed. In the middle of the night, he wakes up to revisit the snowman, and discovers he has magically come to life. The boy shows the snowman around his house, from how to turn the lights on and off to the dangers of the stove. He even dresses him in his parents' clothes. After trying out the boys' parents' car and reclining in the freezer, the snowman takes the boy on a magical journey. They fly in the sky, see some sights, and then land home again. The boy must say goodbye to the snowman for the night. He tosses and turns in his sleep. In the morning, he dashes past his parents to see his snowman friend again. The surprise ending will be bittersweet for readers of all ages.
With soft colored pencil illustrations, this book is perfect for children of all ages. Even toddlers will enjoy flipping through the book and making up their own story to go along with the illustrations. Perfect for children of all ages.

Summary: This board book is tops!
Comment: I bought a copy of this book to have at home when our nearly two-year-old grandson comes to visit, and he loved it so much I immediately sent for another for him to take home with him. There are many board books, but not many classy ones. This one is. It has plenty (over 35) of lift-the-flaps to explore, but there is so much more, too. The illustrations are beautiful, with muted colors, both indoor and outdoor scenes, and both active and quiet activities. There are lots of things to count on each page, and items of different colors, too, so toddlers can practice these skills. The best is the last double-page spread, with all the houses with flaps. You can look inside each one and see what the people are doing. Our grandson loves all his books, but this one is special, and he loves to sit by himself and look at it, lifting all the flaps, as well as have someone read it with him. It's a truly fine book.

Summary: Always a favorite
Comment: This has been a favorite of mine for years. It is perfect for 1 to 3 year olds. The one with words is great for the older ones.

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.
