About this ebook
"Snowmen can only walk," said Mum, "when it is very, very cold and very, very still indeed." But that Christmas Eve was the coldest and stillest that Owen and Lily had ever known...
This seasonal chapter book about a snowman's adventures and the spirit of Christmas is ideal for ages 7 and up, or for reading aloud to younger children.

I'm a qualified teacher and librarian who has had seven children's books published in traditional form in the UK and USA. I've also had about sixty short stories published in British and Australian magazines.In 2012 I set up a child-friendly website, www.megamousebooks.com, to offer free children's stories, ebooks and printable puzzles. Five years later I created my second site, www.englishliteratureebooks.com, as a home for free abridged classic novels and classic poetry ebook collections. Keeping both sites going is proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one!

He’s the most wonderful snowman in the world!
announced Lily.
Owen wasn’t too sure about that. But he was certainly a very fine snowman. He had taken them all afternoon to build.
