A wonderful picture book for the christmas and winter season. It is a delightful story about Rupert and his mom. The have a lovely day in the snow, doing snowball fights, snow angels, sledging and building a snowman. I liked the relationship between Rupert and his mother and the story reminded me of Raymond briggs the snowman. My all-time favorite snow picture book. I recommend it to anyone who is dreaming about Christmas already with the message of this book: Nobody should be alone on Christmas Eve. Have a lovely Christmas with your family.
