The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story


I usually look for a new holiday book for my kids around this time of year and was really pleased when I was sent The Snowman's Song Story by Marilee Joy Mayfield and Illustrations by Tracy La Rue Hohn to review. The books synopsis is as follows:

 "A forlorn little snowman hopes, prays and yearns with all his heart for a beautiful melodic voice so he can rejoice by singing Christmas carols just like human children do.

There is little hope that he will ever have a voice, because the snow world is quiet and snowpeople communicate by sensing thoughts and feelings that travel as ice droplets in the swirling cold winter air. But when a cheery red cardinal awakens his mind and a kind young girl renews his hope, a Christmas miracle happens and the little snowman realizes his longed-for dream in a powerful, joyful, unexpected way."

This book is adorable! My children really loved the story as well as the beautiful illustrations. It really would make a great addition to any families holiday library! The book also comes with an audio CD of the story read by the author. This year for every book purchased at the website http://www.snowmanssong.com/ They will give a copy of the book to an underprivileged child.







I was given the opportunity to review this product because of my membership at The Product Review Place.
 Although I was sent the book to review I did not receive any other form of compensation. All opinions are purely my own.
