Review

This sweet early reader is based on the characters from the Snowman book by Raymond Briggs. In this story a boy builds a snowdog and a snowman. The two come alive and the all fly to the North Pole for sledding and a party with other snowpeople. The large print in this early reader works well for a Guided Level G book. Each page offers at least one new word but also has words from previous pages. The pictures also offer clues to new words being used. This would be a nice edition to an early reader collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
