When little James wakes up one December morning and sees the snow falling, he rushes outside and starts building a snowman. With eyes made of coal, an old green hat, a scarf, and a tangerine for a nose, his snowman is perfect! He reluctantly leaves it at night to go to sleep. But in the middle of the night, James wakes up and slips outside – and to his great surprise, the snowman has come to life… Raymond Briggs' classic story has been enchanting young readers for 40 years. Starting as a wordless illustrated book, it was adapted into a film and theater production, winning many awards. In this unique edition, Michael Morpurgo reimagines it by adding text and shares its magic anew with the next generation.
