A Perfect Snowman
Dressed in his best hat and scarf, with the finest carrot nose, and the roundest coal eyes, the perfect snowman believed that having the best of everything was all there was to life, and all that really mattered. But after receiving a visit from two special friends and a little girl who appeared out of nowhere, like an angel, the snowman begins to realize the true qualities that make him so special. Using captivating, classical sepia-colored art and a text that evoke scenes from stories by Charles Dickens, author and illustrator Preston McDaniels tells the heartwarming tale about a snowman who receives the most perfect gifts of all: humility, compassion, and love.

The Perfect Snowman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This product came in good timing and in great quality! I was amazed to find that there was actually an autograph from the author (this was especially special since I had seen the author but did not have my book yet to have him sign it...) It is a great story with a heart-warming message!

"A Perfect Snowman" has illustrations that will enchant and capture the imagination of your young ones. The artist captures the essence of the story with the soft, gorgeous pencil drawings and adorable characters. In the beginning, the snowman is perfect to look at, but the reader soon realizes that his character is not as lovely...he is selfish and self-absorbed. But as the story unfolds and the snowman has the opportunity to help others in need...his cold heart changes in a miraculous way...teaching us all an invaluable lesson about giving of ourselves. This sets a wonderful platform for discussion with our children regarding compassion for others...even when it requires personal sacrifice. This one will be passed down for generations!
