Now in paperback, from the author of the bestseller The Snowman, a poignant, funny, utterly original graphic memoir that tells the story of his parents lives.

One morning, ten-year-old John wakes up to find an invisible giant sitting on the end of his bed. The giant is mischeivous and teases him, refusing to be measured, and playing tricks. But it can be helpful too: it does the vacuuming, carries bags downstairs and does the washing up.

This colouring book features scenes from the Raymond Briggs story Father Christmas.

Raymond Briggs' award-winning, classic story about the friendship between a boy and a snowman is now available in a generously-sized board book. This wordless tale is told entirely in dream-like pictures, making it perfect for young not-quite-yet readers. "The Snowman" perfectly captures the wonder and innocence of childhood and has enchanted children for over 30 years.

Father Christmas is worn out after the Christmas rush, so he takes a holiday in France, Scotland and Las Vegas; but before long he has to come home to prepare for Christmas again. Suggested level: junior, primary.

Features some of Father Christmas' musings on what it's like to be him - for better or for worse - year in, year out.

Tillys Traum-Bär besucht sie eines Nachts. Für sie ist er jetzt Wirklichkeit, aber für die anderen bleibt er unsichtbar ... (ab 4).

Présentation de style BD.

A journey through one day and one night in the life of James and his beloved Snowman helps teach readers how to tell time, in a book featuring a die-cut clock with hands that move.

Flaps and a simple text help reveal the story of young James, who on a magical winter night, builds a snowman that comes to life, taking the astounded boy flying across the world.

When the snowman comes to life, a little boy invites him into his home and in return is taken on a flight high above the countryside. Unlike the original edition, this version has words.

A humorous description of Wally Burke, who is not only very nlucky, but has an enormous number of antisocial habits of which he is quite unaware, and which have a harmful effect upon his social life.
