About This Book
Told entirely through illustrations with no words, a little boy builds a snowman that magically comes to life during the night. Together they explore the boy's house, share a meal, and then fly through the starlit sky over the countryside in a dreamlike adventure that ends with the bittersweet arrival of morning.
Why We Love This
Raymond Briggs's wordless masterpiece lets children tell the story themselves, and the famous flying sequence still fills us with the same wonder it did when we were little.
