The Snowman: Inspired by the original story by Raymond Briggs

Product Information

But on a personal level, The Snowman ranks but two stars for me, and once again makes me realise that Rayond Briggs is simply and usually just not my proverbial cup of tea. A lovely festive read that I would recommend to children of all ages that carries all of the magic of the original story and more. Since then, he has produced a treasure trove of work, becoming one of the most innovative and popular author-illustrators of our time. The Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman (1984) was a scathing denunciation of the Falklands War.

The Snowman: Inspired by the original story by Raymond Briggs

Omul de zăpadă este un roman grafic despre care am auzit extrem de multe lucruri bune așa că am decis să pornesc și eu lectura acestei mici aventuri.I love the sense of joy and wonder that glows from the page, first with the boy's creativity in building his snowman and then the shared delight as the boy and the snowman each discover the "magic" in one another's worlds.

Aici regasim povestea baietelului James care isi dorea ca de Craciun sa ninga si sa primeasca o bicicleta de la Mosu. I was very curious to finally read Raymond Brigg's The Snowman as I know it's something of a classic, and the cover looks familiar so it's possible I was read this story as a child, though I did not remember it. Raymond Briggs was one of the most respected and beloved author-illustrators, best-known for his 1978 classic, The Snowman.I also love it that Puffin have chosen to include features about Christmas traditions in different countries and the art of snowman-building. Rushing outside one wintry day, the boy slowly builds a snowman beneath his window, but finds that, once it's time to come back inside, he can't take his mind off his creation. Finalul este cel care îți întristează sufletul însă nu poți rămâne trist când știi prin ce clipe magice ai trecut alături de prieteni dragi!

But while I do in fact find The Snowman somewhat and mildly amusing, both Briggs’ picture sequences and the resulting wordless storyline have also never in any way managed to wow, to truly and lastingly enchant me. It makes you feel like you are reading the Snowman for the first time as he keeps elements of the original story whilst adding a few of his own twists. It deals with a boy who witness that winter has finally arrive since the whole backyard is cover in snow.His best-known work, War Horse, was adapted into a multi-Oscar-nominated film by Steven Spielberg and into a widely acclaimed play by the National Theatre. It's the story of a boy who builds a snowman that comes alive and takes him soaring through the countryside night air.
