The illustrations for this book are so very cute! The little sample made me want to read more and I can easily imagine gifting this to young nieces and nephews.

I recently saw the Frozen Christmas Special. This book's Snowman Paul reminded me of Olaf. I think I will like this story.

This seems like a great book for children. I like how the illustrations look like water color and the summary of book seems interesting. Great job on the review!

A short and beautifully illustrated story would be a great Christmas read for children.

What an adorable concept for a Christmas book filled with themes of friendship and acceptance! I agree, the illustrations do look well done and could easily attract children. When you mentioned about how Snowman Paul's facial expressions were wonderfully done, I wonder if children who have trouble identifying someone's emotion would benefit in analyzing the read from this angle? Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the read and that it could be applicable to even those who don't necessarily celebrate Christmas, but other holidays too!
