Frosty the Snowman, illustrated by Richard Cowdrey (published 1993), provides the words to the familiar song with beautiful, large illustrations.
I particularly dislike the movie and the Little Golden Book for Frosty the Snowman. (Particularly, I don’t like the little girl hopping on a train car with a snowman bit…) But my son loves the story, the magic of the hat, the “happy birthday!” first words, and the magic of hoping that a Christmas snow will bring Frosty to life. The Golden Book follows the storyline of the movie.
Although I don’t like the movie, I do like the song, and Cowdrey captures it perfectly. It’s great!
Given the two feet of snow that fell on my community yesterday, I feel it’s appropriate to focus on some of the snowy day books my three-year-old son and I have enjoyed lately. He loves snow and especially snowmen, so I searched out some potential favorites even before this week’s storm hit. See more of our snowy day books from this week by clicking “previous review” or “next review.”
