The Snowman

A boy builds a snowman who comes to life, leading to a magical nighttime adventure. Raymond Briggs tells the story through expressive pictures.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). Preschoolers can enjoy an adult reading aloud, while primary-age children can explore the story and its ideas in more detail. The pictures let children tell the story in their own words, making it accessible before independent reading and supporting observation, inference, sequencing and spoken storytelling.
