” This is a delightful winter tale perfect for reading during the holiday season. It is about a snowman who wants the stars to know he is there, looking up at them in awe. But they don’t wave back or say hello, so he tries to get their attention. Eventually he tries covering himself in Christmas lights, which seems to do the trick. Soon after he sees a meteor shower, which he takes to be the stars ‘waving’ back. This digital book is simply but solidly made with very little enhancement. It has no animation or interactivity but features great narration, music and beautiful illustrations that evoke a very chilly atmosphere. The story is told in rhyme and the text is in an easy to read font. The book also has intuitive settings and easy, ‘swipe-style’ page turning. This title makes for a great bedtime read and is lovely in a low-light environment.  Overall this is a sweet little digital book with lots of appeal for winter reading. It captures the cold, crisp nighttime environment beautifully and will have little ones snuggling deep into the covers as they listen or have it read to them.”  another wonderful review by Carisa Kluver at Digital Storytime – click here for the original text
