A cute illustrated story of the song of frosty. My niece enjoyed it.

[Mischenko]

This is one that we bring out every year. It's the original song we all love with beautiful illustrations of Frosty and his friends. Sheet music is included with guitar chords as well.

Cute book to go with the song!

[Seung Lee]

Solid book that basically follows the famous song about Frosty...

[Laura]

A simple board book that has the song lyrics to Frosty the Snowman. The illustrations are fun for little ones to look at as you sing your way through this book.

[Andrea]

The pics are old fashioned and I didn’t enjoy them. The whole book is just the song Frosty the Snowman, except that it reads like a regular book and not a song. So you sing it in your head because you know the song, but there are no exclamation points or any indication that it’s a song that you’re supposed to sing. It just looks like you read it straight through.

I love this story. Most of the kids saw the movie and were automatically excited when I said we were reading that today! My students really enjoyed it!

[Della Tingle]

Precious! The words are the exact lyrics in the song, so readers may read or SING as they turn the pages!

[Dolly]

This isn't a story, but an illustrated version of the song. It's a classic at Christmas, though, and the illustrations are very good. Our girls received this book from a book exchange at their school, but we just recently got around to reading it. We enjoyed reading it together and we will likely add it to our collection of books that we always read at Christmastime.

December 2015 update: It's a fun, quick read and perfect for reading with our busy 2-year-old neice who is visiting us just before Christmas.

Mama always says if someone takes a song and turns it into a book, is it really still considered writing a book? We don't care either way, because we love to sing-read. Even though Christmas has come and gone, it was the perfect time to whip this one out, because we were stuck indoors all day due to the polar vortex apocalypse thingamajig happening outside. We didn't make that term up. It's a real thing. We saw it on the news.❄⛄

my kids enjoyed this Frosty book. the pictures were well illustrated. it was also written with the original lyrics which was a nice way to teach the words and gets sung daily! we actually were reading with pandora soft in the background and the classic version came on at the same time we were reading, which the kids thought was cool.

[Myklyn Reakes]

This book is a fun one to read around the holidays! With many bright and colorful illustrations, kids will love it. The book is written with the classic song we all know and love “Frosty the Snowman”. Children can read the book as it is, or listen to the song and use the pages of the book to sing along. When used in a classroom, there are many connections that can be made.

[Kristen]

This is one of those books that plays an electronic tune when opened. An instant classic for O, of course. I'm thinking of not putting it away with the Christmas things. Frosty isn't a Christmas song, anyway!

[Dominique Maderitz]

This book is based off the song but it is about a snowman who comes to life with a magical hat. The snowman pay with the children until the sun melts him away. This book is a fun and festive way to approach weather and what happens to the snow when it melts.

[Melanie Hetrick]

A fantastically illustrated version of the traditional song. Book includes a CD in the back of Kenny Loggins singing the song. A great way to share books AND music with your children. The best way to share this is to sing it!

[Jane]

Jesse brought this home from the school library. I don't know what prompted him to pick it since Christmas was 2 months ago. He's a funny kid, so I just went with it. This book is exactly like the song I remember singing as a kid. Very cute story and pictures.

[Melissa]

I did not win this book on Good Reads First Reads. I bought this book to read to my two grandsons, my two great nieces, and great nephew. They will love this story and pressing the button to play the "Frosty the Snowman" song. I enjoyed the story myself.

[Megan]

We got this from the library before M's second Christmas, and she loved it. She especially loved the page with the police officer holding up a hand and saying, "Stop!". We had to borrow it again, this year, and she loved it just as much.

[Janet]

This is the primo edition. When my daughter was a baby we sang our way through this book countless times!

[Jennifer]

Perfect for storytime sing-along!

[Nicole Flores]

This is the classic story of frosty the snow man, which is really fun for children during the holidays.

[Theresa]

Frosty the Snowman (Hardcover)
by Steve Nelson
used in a DLC special education class in music has the original verses divided and expanded

[Makkena]

A book that students might read towards the holiday season.

[Lorena Carreno]

It was so hard trying to actually read the book to my son first and not sing.

[Brittany]

Cute! Illustrations are beautiful. I think that I am going to try singing this to my preschool storytime kids. Wish me luck, I can't carry a tune in a bucket. Ha!

[Samantha Jackson]

This is a fun Christmas book to read with children. It tells the story of Frosty the snowman. The book also has a fun CD that goes along with the book to teach the children the song.

[Kimberly Souza]

Lovely and traditional!!

[Laura]

Another kids pick for read-aloud....this was cute to read and see the pictures. Even though it's not Christmas, it made me happy to read about Frosty.

[Emily Prior]

5/5 stars for children. 4/5 as an adult.

I love frosty the snowman. It is so much of a classic! And I just found that Frosty was born in 1950, WOW

[Susan Molloy]

Easy to play, and it is in a key that makes it easier for most people to sing at the piano during a Christmas gathering.
