What a fun new Christmas tale!

How can a snowman--with a heart of frozen snow--join in the Christmas warmth without melting? Read the latest Snowman Paul book to find out!

As always, Lapid delivers. Parents will enjoy the clever rhymes and charm of the tale and accompanying art, while early readers will simply enjoy the magic of a snowman and his boy, sharing Christmas together.

The perfect stocking stuffer! :techie-reference: :techie-reference: :techie-studyinggray:

I was kind of shocked, though I should have been prepared, to see that there is no way for me to know what had made Paul feel what he had felt because I could only read a few pages. But the clouds were gone and the sky clearer, thanks to the review, at least I am feeling more enlightened about what the book was about. I thought children's books will not be able to get to me anymore now that I am older, I was proven wrong. I got hooked by reading a few pages and now I am looking forward to reading the whole of the book, especially now that I have read this review. Thank you!

The underlying themes of this story are friendship and acceptance, and I think the points are delivered well without coming across too strongly.
Well put. Friendship and acceptance are virtues that should be cultivated in all people. If this begins at the time one is a child, the better.

Some of my favorite books from childhood were Christmas books so I made sure I built up quite a collection for my own sons when they were little. They're in high school now, but I still have all the books and intend to keep them. I still like reading them myself and they will be good to have around when grandchildren come along. This books sounds like another wonderful addition to the genre. I like the themes you mentioned...so important in children's books. Such a sweet cover too! Thanks for your insight.

It is nice to know that there are no spelling or gramatic mistakes in the book. It would have been terrible for children to read a book with errors.

Excellent review. Not sure if I'll get around to the book, but your informative review definitely made me consider passing over this book entirely.

Snowman Paul is an adorable character. A Christmas theme seems obvious, but I've also seen a Halloween book. Regardless the story, Snowman Paul books always share important life lessons with its readers.

A fantastic children story presented with colorful illustrations and the theme of this story is empathy for others. It would be a wonderful gift for children for this Christmas.
