Twelve Picture Books for Christmas - part two!

December 6, 2019 Viveka Alvestrand
The Snowman by Raymond Briggs (Puffin)

The Snowman by Raymond Briggs (Puffin)

Our second choice for Christmas is not one but a bundle: three festive choices from the treasure trove of Raymond Briggs' books. All equally wonderful, they are: The Snowman, The Snowman and the Snow Dog and … because how could we not… Father Christmas.

All three books capture perfectly the excitement and wonder of childhood – especially at Christmas. From wishes coming true, to the simple delight in building a snowman, and some insight to Santa himself, the humour, warm and detailed pictures and sense of anticipation make these an enchanting adventure for small children.

There are also some wonderful variations of these books to further delight children, including a pop up version of The Snowman and finger puppet version of The Snowman and the Snowdog.

All published by Puffin.
