This is a lovely little story of Rupert and his mum who embark on a snowy Christmas Eve adventure. The illustrations are beautiful and remind me of the books my mum would read to me as a child. I also liked how simple the story is. Overall this is a very charming book and I would buy a physical copy to read to my little boy when he's a tiny bit older. This would be a lovely Christmas gift.

I did find the text quite hard to read sometimes, especially when it was wrapped around the images but maybe that's just because this is a digital copy.

Rupert's snowman is a fun story detailing how a kid and his mom spend a snowy Christmas eve. The story flowed nicely and was entertaining for both kids amd adults. I also liked the illustrations- they reminded me of books from when I was a kid. The only negative thing about this book is that some pages are a little.difficult to read easily. I think that maybe the text should just be bolder (or slightly bigger) so that the words don't fade into the background of the illustrations.

The illustrations in the story are beautiful.

It's a lovely winter themed story which would be perfect to buy for Christmas Eve boxes. Thank you Netgalley for allowing us to review

I am a mother to 9 year old twins. My daughter is a little bookworm just like her mother and I love it. However, my son is Autistic and honestly doesn't care to read books much. He loves to look at the pictures though and when his sister and myself read to him. We all really enjoyed this book and thought it was really cute!

A lovely lyrical story about a young boy and his mum playing in the snow. We loved the imagery conveyed by the choice of words.
I'm not sure if our digital copy was missing a couple of pages towards the end but there were a couple plain white and the ending seemed rather incomplete.
Altogether a super story to share with little ones particularly in the winter.

An incredibly enchanting and well-composed book for children that had me hooked from the first page until the very last. Highly recommended.

What an enchanting read! Full of Christmas wonder and magic. The illustrations are so good for the soul, too. I will definitely be adding this to our Christmas collection.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. With beautiful illustrations, this book takes you with Rupert as he and his mother enjoy a snowy day. I really liked how the words didn't only flow left to right as in most stories but rather followed the illustrations like poetry.

It's a really cute winter story. I like the illustrations and how it was narrated it a child-like way. I think, it's a good story for kids who are going on a trip to a snowy place.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review.

This book is so cute! It has lovely illustrations and tells a simple, yet beautiful story of a boy enjoying a winter day with his mum. What I liked most about this book, apart from the illustrations, was the vocabulary used (rucksack, sledge, dribble). As a teacher of English language learners I am excited to bring this into my classroom to use during writing lessons.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the e-ARC.

Such a short and very sweet children's story about a boy who was building a snowman and playing in the snow and having a good time with her mom before Christmas
The story is really cute and the illustrations are adorable, the people playing in the snow were heartwarming, I loved the snow cat haha, I wish I had snow in my country to build one.

This is an absolutely charming classic Christmas book for children. There is nothing groundbreaking about the story, but the illustrations are beautiful and festive. This would make a sweet gift for any child during the Christmas season.

A gorgeous story. Very well illustrated. Even the font used is beautiful and I just love the innocence of the little boy wanting to keep the snowman.

This is a cute winter story about fun in the snow as a child accompanied by beautiful illustrations. I would love to see this released in an American-English vernacular edition.

A lovely story, perfect for the Christmas season. The beautiful illustrations, snowy excitement and heart-warming ending are tied perfectly together into a beautiful gift of a story. The illustrations well emphasise the senses giving it that Christmas feel- I could practically taste those ginger snaps 😍. I also loved how the illustration exaggerated the scarf wrapping, leaving me both amused and warm on the inside.

A magical book about building a snowman! I loved this sweet and beautiful winter story. A wonderful read for the winter like 'Snowy Day'. I loved Rupert's creativity, empathy, and kindness.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
