This is a beautiful book. I had a great time reading this with my two and four year old. They love the lyrics and “sing” or “read” a long with me. They love the pictures and art.

[Mel Beags]

It is one of Katharina's earliest favorites

[Hilary]

Solid addition to storytelling collection.

[Marilyn]

[Micaelly Cabral]

Cute snowy day story for kids.

[Blair]

Cute toddler board book on the Christmas classic.

[TJE]

Different picture on front, rated low only because Tea specifically wanted the frosty movie story and this was not it.

Synopsis: "This holiday classic is brought to life by bestselling illustrator Sam Williams, with a glitter-filled, sparkling cover that shines with wintertime magic.



Written by Steve Nelson and Walter "Jack" Rollins, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN is a seasonally joyful story that continues to warm our hearts year after year. Famous for his cheerful character, whimsical appeal, and, of course, his button nose and two eyes made out of coal, Frosty is the most magical snowman in town.

Join him as he runs here and there, all around the square, saying "catch me if you can." Thumpity, thump, thump, thumpity, thump, thump, look at Frosty go!"

My Review: I dare you to read this book without singing it! I couldn't manage but Hubby was able to read it to Munchkin without the song. Munchkin absolutely loved it, he is now obsessed with snowmen and can't wait for it to snow enough to make one of our own. My copy had the artwork from the movie and Munchkin enjoyed identifying the characters (especially the rabbit).

Dude, it's Frosty the Snowman, and nothing but Frosty the Snowman. The lines are divided up naturally between the pages, the print is easy on tired adult eyes, and the illustrations are bright and colorful enough to please the little ones. It seems like a no brainer, but given the number of other Frosty the Snowman books out there, it apparently requires a lot of skill.

If you've ever sung the song or seen the classic film, you've read this book. It's just the song put to familiar illustrations. Still, I suppose it's a classic for a reason! Nice sparkly cover.

Edit now that I’m a parent: I now understand why books like this exist. My son loves being sung to, and I appreciate being reminded of childhood songs I can sing to him. xD

Colorful, cheerful illustrations accompany the lyrics of Frosty the Snowman wrapped in a padded cover. My toddler especially enjoys the whimsical bunnies wearing scarves participating in a snowball fight.

It's impossible to read this story without singing the song! Much newer illustrations than the version of Frosty I remember from my childhood, but my boys both loved it.

[Tim Vandenberg]

A simple rendition of the classic Frosty song, faithful to the original lyrics.

Recommended for little Frosty fans.

[Alyssa Brysch]

It wasn't this author. Same story.

[Heather]

H seems to love music and he really seemes to enjoy having me sing and sign this book with him. Received as a Christmas gift from his Aunt and Uncle.

An enjoyable board book with the original lyrics of Frosty the snowman. The illustrations are cute and lovely. A wonderful book to sing along with.

[Stacy Renee (LazyDayLit)]

An adorably illustrated board book that goes along with the classic lyrics. I don't think I've ever seen a cuter snowman!
