My toddlers would love this. Christmas stories are their absolute favourites anyway, but the fact that it's short, rhymes and has a meaningful story means it ticks boxes for me as well as them.

I added this to my WTR list a while ago. I must get myself a copy.

Sounds like a great holiday book to read with kids. Based on the review it seems like a good story about diversity and acceptance.

This is a well-written review, good job! I like the description of this book and feel it should work well for the intended audience. The underlying themes and the story as explained should be captivating enough for children and the young at hearrt. Congrats to the author on #BOTD

Sounds like an interesting story to read during winter. We don't normally see much snow, so we have to read about it. I'll have to enjoy this one with my 6yr old. Thanks for the nice review!

Sounds like a great little book. I'm sure children of all ages will enjoy it. I liked the Halloween book by the same author, and I'm sure the Christmas one will be just as good. Thank you for your informative review.

A wonderful, entertaining book for children. Adults may also find this book to be useful.

What a fun book with just enough tweaks to make it unique. I love Frosty the Snowman and have a feeling I would find this an enjoyable Christmastime read. I hope Paul gets a chance to be with his loved ones for the holidays! Great review :)

This is a great read for a kid. A Christmas story with illustrations sounds good. Thanks for the review.

Sounds like a good Christmas book for kids. As the holidays are case approaching, everyone including children will have expectations of the season. Christmas is a time of love and sharing. The water colour collection will make this book appeal more to children. Thanks for the review

The winter season of celebration, be it for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, or any other festival, can be a joyous time. It equally is a time of great sadness as people look back upon the year or reflect on individuals who are missing from the festivities. For children, this time of year presents challenges because it can be a confusing and frightening time as they transition to new phases. This book with a delightful character who is confronting his own trials may provide comfort to children as they find a common personality in Snowman Paul. I have heard of a tradition of allowing children to open a book for every day of the holiday season. This book would make an excellent addition to that collection.
