The Snowman


I went home this weekend and I was able to catch up on some reading. I have kind of forgotten how much I love to read. I think recently I have been getting in touch with my artsy side. Its not just reading that I have been doing, but painting and playing my piano. While I was on a roll reading I decided to add another children's book to my list. The latest book that I have read is The Snowman. I was thinking about Christmas and how much I miss it, and then I remembered this book. I used to love this book as a child and I used to always imagine how cool it would have been to have a talking snowman as a friend. Naturally Frosty the Snowman is an excellent example of having a snowman as a friend, but this snowman in the book is different because in the end he melts and doesn't come back. There are very little words in the book which make it pretty cool because it lets me imagine what the dialogue would be. There need to be more book like this.
