The Snowman's Wish

32 pp. | North-South | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-4144-4 $14.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Andrew Rushton. Thanks to a magical wish, a lonely toy snowman escapes his snow globe and dances with a beautiful ballerina on her music box. Unfortunately, the magic only lasts an hour, and the snowman can't bear to leave. After a suspenseful buildup, the lovebirds get a sweet, satisfying resolution. Though sloppy at times, the illustrations give the toys plenty of personality.
