| 內容簡介： |
Who needs words to tell a story? In Raymond Briggs''s charming
tale, told with 175 softly hued, artfully composed frames, a little
boy makes friends with a snowman. He wakes up on a snowy day, tells
his mother he''s going outside, then begins a flurry of
snowman-building. That night, he can''t sleep, so he opens the front
door and lo! the snowman has come to life. The amiable yet frosty
fellow enjoys his tour of the boy''s cozy home; he admires the cat,
but is disturbed by the fire. The boy shows him other wonders--the
TV and a lamp and running water. Predictably perhaps, he is
disturbed by the stove, but likes ice cubes quite a bit. Soon it is
the snowman''s turn to introduce the boy to his wintry world. They
join hands, rise up into the blizzardy air--presumably over Russia
and into the Middle East--and then safely back to home sweet home.
The boy pops into bed before his parents get up... but when he
wakes up the next morning he races outside only to find his new
buddy''s melted remains, scattered with a few forlorn lumps of coal.
Since the book is wordless, you can make up any ending you want...
like "Then, in a puff of pink smoke, the snowman recomposed himself
and went to live in the boy''s garage freezer." Or you could just
resign yourself to a peaceful "And that was that." Raymond Briggs''s
The Snowman won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and this
wintertime classic continues to win the hearts of kids every year.
