Book Review

This is a wonderful book - and funny!

I enjoyed The Snowman Code because I thought it was very funny.

It was a “magical friendship that can never die”.

The word choice was brilliant and descriptive. It teaches you that life is not easy. It also teaches you animal facts!

The illustrations were perfect, there were not too many, there was just the right amount.

The book is for all ages old and young alike. I think this book is wonderful.

About the Book

In London, in a winter which shows no sign of ending, a unique friendship begins.

This is the story of Blessing, aged ten-and-a-half, and Albert Framlington, aged six hundred – an eccentric snowman who has seen many winters in many cities, and who is duty-bound by the Snowman Code to help any child in need.

Together, Blessing and Albert must find a way to defeat Blessing’s bullies, win back Albert’s long-lost love Clementine, and even overcome the never-ending winter itself…
