DESCRIPTION:
Too small to see ES This board book is very small, and there are multiple pictures on each page, some as small as an inch. It's a cute wordless book for pre-readers to flip through and use their imaginations, but the pictures are just too small for the youngest ones. My on. Mitch said This board book is tops!.

Soon it is the snowman's turn to introduce the boy to his wintry world. The boy shows him other wonders--the TV and a lamp and running water. Who needs words to tell a story? In Raymond Briggs's charming tale, told with 175 softly hued, artfully composed frames, a little boy makes friends with a snowman. That night, he can't sleep, so he opens the front door and lo! the snowman has come to life. He wakes up on a snowy day, tells his mother he's going outside, then begins a flurry of snowman-building. They join hands, rise up into the blizzardy air--presumably over Russia and into the Middle East--and then safely back to home sweet home. The amiable yet frosty fellow enjoys h
