New Releases by Raymond Briggs

Picture story book.

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.

Now in Pictureback(R) format comes Raymond Briggs'' award-winning, enchanting story of a young boy and a snowman who share a magical night of friendship, fun, and flying. The experience is one that neither he nor young readers will ever regret or forget. (Booklist, starred review). Our new Pictureback(R) format provides simple text written by the author.

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

The small man who appears one morning in John''s bedroom proves to be a rather demanding houseguest.

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.

Présentation de style BD.

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

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.

Everyday life in Bogeydom is examined as Fungus the Bogeyman describes the skills of scaring people in the nighttime and living underground amidst slime and grime in the daytime.

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.
