I just love this kind of story - perfect for kids' bedtime and sweet dreams, I think, with the calm music, pleasing illustration, and good, warm feelings. So, thank you also for this recommendation! <br />Oh, yesterday, after watching The Snowman, I noticed that there's also The Snowman and the Snowdog. Have you seen this one? I couldn't resist... and certainly have no regrets, even though it made me shed a few tears... Heartwarming! :) nurinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-85187176001360045702016-12-16T12:48:58.927-05:002016-12-16T12:48:58.927-05:00Nuri, he has another book made into video called T...Nuri, he has another book made into video called The Bear - I can't find it on YouTube but here's a link to the Amazon DVD:<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Raymond-Briggs-Bear-Animal-Train/dp/B0000C8APV<br /><br />It is equally beautiful. We had both on videocassette but I gave them all to the local thrift store a few years back assuming they would be available online - huge mistake! I need to get them both on DVD while I can. They were childhood favorites for my two and I have the music in my holiday music list and love it. billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-82329227675284191912016-12-16T12:02:05.962-05:002016-12-16T12:02:05.962-05:00How sweet!
