I have to admit that we own four of Mark's books and they're treasured for both the story and Karen's whimsical and sweet illustrations. This story starts on Thanksgiving night when an unexpected snowstorm hits the neighborhood. The magical prose coupled with gorgeous illustrations takes us through a story about a boy and a message from Sir Moon:

I may have never heard of Bob before, but I am now glad that I have met him.
A Snowman Named Just Bob was first released in 1999 and released in 2008 in a special 10 year anniversary edition. I opened the pages expecting a snowman story, yet found a touching story about friendship and love. It is good to be reminded once in a while that friendship is a simple thing - humans just tend to complicate it.

Bob, the snowman, comes to life one snowy Thanksgiving day.
I think the illustrations and font are whimsical and cute but the written text is entirely too long, the message of friendship, magic, believing, and love is lost in the daunting amount of text in the verses. I also wonder if the audience is for adults or older children, the language is pretty but not necessarily child-friendly.

A great winter/snowman book to read to young children. The warm, rhyming text leads to a great moral of how good friends will always be near even though they may not be right there. Wonderful pictures bring the story to life. The descriptive text in this book allows for young children to visualize and predict what is happening during the story.
This book teaches such a wonderful lesson about friendship and is a beloved book by my family. It is such a joy to read and children will fall in love with Bob the snowman. This book is essential in everyone's winter collection and creates a mood that is happy and loving.
Reads like one of those sappy 'instant classics' that has its own H***M*** toy line and straight-to-video film. Pretty, though, if you like that kind of cookies & cocoa style.
This is a sweet story about how to make friends and how to be good a friend. It is beautifully illustrated and would make a great addition to a Christmas collection.
Cooper & I LOVE the Snowman named just Bob, Snowgirl named just Sue and can't wait for more books about snow people. I am excited to build our own version of Bob & Sue someday!
I read this to a 2nd grade class and enjoyed its beautiful illustrations.
The children and I giggle about this because my husband's name is Bob!
Couldn't resist the illustrations in this heartwarming tale.
The message in this book is quite sweet. I love the illustrations!

Recommends it for:
parents reading with their children
Though not exclusively about Christmas, this is a great book to read during the season. It espouses hope and joy and a sense of gratefulness for what you have. The rhyming narrative and festive illustrations are perfect to read aloud to children during the holiday season.
Beautiful book. The artwork and story go together perfectly. One of our favorites
Love the artwork and it's so fun to say the name Bob.
Retelling of Frosty the Snowman; a little corny.
