In 1982 Raymond Briggs's classic picture book The Snowman was made into an enchanting animated film, now loved by generations of children all over the world. This delightful new audio eBook celebrates its 30th anniversary and features images from the film and a wonderful reading by Andrew Sachs, BAFTA-nominated star of Fawlty Towers.

#ArtfulAugust Day 28: #SnowyCover from inimitable Briggs who recently passed away. The art in this children‘s classic evokes so many powerful emotions, it warms the heart while you simultaneously feel the chill as you flip through the snowy pages. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-10a

1 ❄ I enjoy watching snow fall but if I need to venture out, I'm typically over it in a few minutes!

2 ⛄ I love driving around after a good storm, and once the roads have been cleaned off, and look at the trees covered in snow. 💙

Thanks, @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

Day 28: Snowman

It's only just started to snow here in Chicago's 'burbs, but it's sticking. I'm not a fan. I *am* a fan of Number Two Son, for whom I made this adorable stocking when he was an itty-bit. It lives in his household now, but I smartly captured this photo before I handed it over to him. [NOS' Noah's Ark stocking—also precious—is, oddly, still in my possession.]

This classic picture book will always be so magical to me. I love the gentle dreamy illustrations so much and remember them so well from when I was little.

I'll need to find this book because the movie was very cute! The animation style was cool, but the ending was a little bit of a bummer 😭

#MistletoeManiacs #WinterGames2021 @Clwojick

6pts.

night_shift The book is officially on hold. There's also a sequel to the movie! It's on hoopla, which doesn't work great on my phone at work, so I'll have to wait until I get home. Onward to another Christmasy movie! 3y

A little boy rushes out into the wintry day to build a snowman, which comes alive in his dreams that night. The experience is one that neither he nor young 'readers' will ever forget ❄️☃️

1. Nay. It looks pretty when I‘m inside but I don‘t like driving in it.
2. Yes. It is snowing at this very moment.
3. Stay inside where it is warm. Ideally there will be tea and books.
4. Go away on holiday and avoid it?

Part 1 of our Goodwill haul from today. Some are gifts for other people. I got Room on the Broom bc we watched it on Netflix several times around Halloween and I can put it away for next year. The very top book is a two-fer. So I guess I should say all three Nancy Drew books are gifts. I ALWAYS rescus the Wonderful world of Disney books even if I already have them, unless they're extremely damaged. We read The Snowman when we got home ❄❄❄
