This familiar tale of snowmen-come-to-life/was-it-all-a-dream? was fine with me, but the art . . . ugh. Some sort of computer generated, collage-style renderings that just looked weird, and on two pages where the former snowpeople dance in front of Melania Trump's stark white branches - downright creepy.
Darling story with beautiful illustrations.
This was a beautiful story about the magic of Christmas. It was neither religious nor overly secular and simply had a lovely story. My children and I loved it.
This didn't strike any chords with me. The art felt 'wrong,' but I can't say why. (Was it computer generated?) The story was 'flat' -- mice cooked, angel figures flew, a snowman came alive ... not enough depth to make a real story.
A little girl has a magical Christmas Eve. It involves snowmen and various other things that come to life. It's fun, but it's not really one of my favorites.
Elise loved this book - thanks, Christine, I looked for it after seeing it on your list! The pictures are beautiful and the story sweet.
The magic of Christmas is released after Emily builds a snow woman on Christmas Eve, and her new neighbor builds a snowman. What Emily experiences is brought full circle on Christmas Day.
I've read this many times at Christmas over the years. The illustrations are beautiful, almost magical. The story is fun and lively and reminds me a little of "The Nutcracker Ballet" by Vladimir Vagin (another one of my favorites).
beautiful and large-enough-for-a-group-to-see illustrations about one magical Christmas Eve in a Victorian era girl's life.
Super cute story & absolutely beautiful illustrations!
This is one of "my" favorites - don't know about the kids.
An imaginative story about snowmen coming to life
a sweet Christmas story
A little girl and her neighbor make a couple of snowman and they comes to life and dances with the little girl. She wakes up Christmas morning not sure if it was a dream or not. Beautiful illustrations!
Magical!
Fiction; Juvenile/Christmas4 starsAdorable story with fun illustrations. Definitely one that I would purchase for our family collection.
An absolutely heartwarming story; this is definitely going to be included in my Christmas story collection!After reading it to them, the girls sat together and Lexi read it to Victoria!Such a sweet moment for us all! That is what a book can do; it can make memories!Perhaps we had a bit of that "Christmas Magic" here in Las Vegas!
I loved this one!!!! Terrific story about true love.....
This is a cute book that I don't think is a "typical" Christmas story. My 4-year-old didn't really like it but my 8-year-old did.
