The Snowman (With Popup Scene)

A boy builds a snowman who comes to life and opens the door to a magical winter adventure. The story moves between the familiar warmth of home and the wonder of an extraordinary night, ending with the bittersweet feeling that special experiences cannot always last. This edition includes a pop-up scene, adding another visual surprise to Raymond Briggs's much-loved story.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). The illustrated story suits shared reading with younger children and more independent exploration as reading grows. Following events encourages prediction, sequencing and vocabulary; discussing the characters gives children practice recognising feelings and considering other perspectives.
