One magical snowy night, a young boy and his teddy bear journey to a faraway land. They see snowman built as high as the sky , fairies in a dark and gloomy forest ruled by the Queen of the Poles, and elves helping giant reindeer and Santa get ready for his big night.
This is a wonderful picture book, with a very surprising ending. I love the author/illustrator's use of shadow and light to create a land that is both magical and haunting (and makes me really want to go there). It reminds me of The Polar Express ( possibly better because the language and short and sweet, so might be using this next November/ December.) A perfect read for cold winter nights.
