A new full-colour gift edition of this timeless Christmas tale from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo

A stunning gift edition of The Snowman, re-imagined by beloved author Michael Morpurgo for a whole new generation of readers - now with beautiful full-colour illustrations.

One December morning, James is thrilled to wake up to see snow falling.

He spends the whole day making his perfect snowman; he has coal eyes, an old green hat and scarf and a tangerine nose... just like the snowman from his favourite story.

That night, something magical happens - the Snowman comes to life!

He and James take to the skies on a magical adventure where they meet someone very special.

Inspired by the timeless tale, Michael Morpurgo and Robin Shaw have created the perfect story for the whole family to share together as a new Christmas tradition.

Also available for 0-6yrs:
The Snowman - the classic wordless picture book by Raymond Briggs
The Snowman: Book of the Film - a picture book based on the classic film
The Snowman and the Snowdog - a picture book based on the classic film sequel
