Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★ | 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.

★★★★★ | 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!
-Tasha B, Reviewer

★★★★★ | 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.

Another snowman story centered around kindness and gratitude is The Giving Snowman by Julia Zheng. Instead of children helping the melted snowman, it's a group of woodland creatures. I love to discuss ways this story represented kindness and giving. It's a great story to read before an activity where students share what they are grateful for either starting or ending the calendar year.

A lovely story about sharing and helping others, great for kids (bought as a gift for 7 year old nephew). The pictures are also beautiful. If you want a new kind of holiday book to read or gift that’s not just about Santa/toys/nativity scene, buy this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, but pricey.

The story is heartwarming and has a good moral, but for the price, I honestly thought I was getting a hardback, not a paperback. I should have paid more attention that it was a paperback. Still perplexed about the price!

A lovely story about kindness and friendship

J. · December 19, 2021

For our family, Christmas is about kindness and so this is a lovely addition to our collection of Christmas books. My children (6 and 8 years old) enjoyed this story. However I’m only giving this three stars for a couple of reasons. It felt like a version of Julia Donaldson’s “The Smartest Giant in Town”, without the appealing lyrical verse that makes Julia Donaldson books hold up so well to repeated readings. The other reason I’m only giving this book three stars is the physical quality of the paperback version. Both the covers and pages are thin, making it a book that I probably wouldn’t gift to others. However if you’re after an easy addition to your Christmas book collection, this is an option.

A generous person melts the coldest of hearts?
