About this listen

When James wakes to see snow falling one December morning, he is delighted and rushes outside to make a snowman. With coal eyes, an old green hat and scarf and a tangerine nose, he is perfect, and James can hardly bear to go inside and leave him. In the middle of the night, he wakes and creeps out to see his snowman again - and to his amazement, the snowman comes to life....

This special tale of true Christmas magic will bring everyone's favourite childhood festive character to a brand-new audience.

A few years have gone by since I shared with younger students the video and book of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. It had become a favorite of mine to share with children, but now I have found this version by Michael Morpurgo and I have fallen in love all over again with this longer and more elaborate telling of Jame’s snowman experience. Richard Armitage does an outstanding job with the telling of the story, too.

Classic for a Winter’s Day

For all the young of whatever age... I assumed this was some version of Frosty the Snowman, but it's much better. Treat yourself!

One of the best Audibles ever ❤
