Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-14 00:00:00 Henry Lim One winter's night, a snowman comes to life and a magical adventure begins.... A 'feel-good' Christmas story. It has been on my shelves for almost a year, waiting for Xmas time. A bit early, but I decided I could use this 'sidestep' from busy work and studies. Drawings are cute and beautiful. 'Narrated entirely through pictures, its dreamlike illustrations perfectly capture the wonder and innocence of childhood'. I liked it, took my thoughts away from 'brand management' and 'customer marketing';-) Looking forward to Christmas, only a few weeks to go! Cute picture book!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-19 00:00:00 Taylor Allen On the verge of an old-fashioned snowstorm tomorrow in the midwest. . . A wordless masterpiece, which I experienced first through the silent film, with this original introduction. If you are the least down today, see this now: But I have the book right here, too. It's the story of a boy who builds a snowman that comes alive and takes him soaring through the countryside night air. I must have read and seen this first in 1999, when Sammy was born. This is one of the virtues of getting older and rereading favorite picture books, reliving those memories. The musical score is gorgeous. We have as I reread it in 2018 an early snow here in Chicago, piles of the stuff, snow on snow on snow, as they say, that I glance at as I read the book and as the film rolls and the music play. Time for hot chocolate? There's a David Bowie-introduced version, too, very sweet.
