A simply written reminder that kindness costs nothing but can mean everything to someone else. The illustrations are lovely and the story is simply told making this a perfect books for young readers.

Thank you to the publisher and NewGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This is a sweet story showing the importance of helping others. It also depicts that at times, a good deed can come back to you just when you need it.

Often the best children's book are those relating the familiar in a simple and repetitive way.

That is why in my opinion, The Giving Snowman will potentially become a classic. A beautiful story, lovingly illustrated to enhance the words, it shares the message of giving and gratitude.

One of my greatest joys in snowy weather was building a snowman with my children.

Snowman in this story, is well suited for the winter weather but those he meets are less able to cope with the freezing cold evenings. What little Snowman has he shares without thought of his own needs to ease the problems others are facing. Thereafter when they meet up again they are able to show their appreciation and repay him in their own way.

I am grateful to the publishers and NetGalley for an advanced reader's copy. This is ultimately a book I would like to own and read to my grandchild and wait on the first snow of winter.

Think of this Wonderful Story as Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince Crossed over with Raymond Briggs's The Snowman only 10 Times More Heart-Warming.
A Special Thanks to Net Gallery for this Book.

A wonderful tale about compassion and sharing. My children and I really enjoyed the story and the beautiful illustrations. We had an excellent talk about why sharing is caring and to look out for those in need. I look forward to reading it again and will be recommending this story to friends!
