«The Snowman» is a wordless children's picture book by Raymond Briggs, published by Puffin in hardcover (34 pages, in English).
A boy builds a snowman that comes to life and, during one magical night, they share adventures: the snowman discovers the boy's house and then they fly together over a snowy landscape. The Snowman is a story told solely through illustrations, with friendship and imagination at the heart of it.
The work belongs to the The Snowman series, which includes five titles; the animated movie based on it celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012. This edition dates from 2000.
It is suitable for children aged 3 to 5; a wordless Christmas classic, it serves as a first introduction to picture books.
Raymond Redvers Briggs was an English illustrator, cartoonist, graphic novelist and author. Achieving critical and popular success among adults and children, he is best known in Britain for his 1978 story The Snowman, a book without words whose cartoon adaptation is televised and whose musical adaptation is staged every Christmas.
