Title: Wonderful, beautiful, affecting, a joy...and sad
Product review: This book tells the lovely story of a brief friendship between a small boy and a snowman. The story is told beautifully, and manages to be poetic and moving without words. Some people are critical of this book because of the ending, which is not happily-ever-after. Well, the ending made the book that much more dear and gives to the story a depth than many children's books do not have. The child, after experiencing the magic of the snowman's world, now has to accept the reality of his friend's short existence: snowmen do not last forever. A painful realization, but one that every child has to deal with sooner or later: the loss of something or someone beloved. I loved this book.
