Customer Reviews

Fun for kids and adults

We bought this for our three-year old daughter last year and she found it challenging. But at four she loves it. She insists we go through a few pages every night. I love how excited she gets when she finds something. My husband and I sit down and find items with her making for good family time.

Highly recommend

Approprately intriguing and challenging while this book is also in season and fun. I recommend it highly due to the invitation to interact with a young person while "reading" it and see it as one more way to stimulate initiative, observation, and awareness.

See for Yourself!

Can You See What I See? The Night Before Christmas, using The Night Before Christmas theme, is a seek and find it book similar to the 'I Spy Christmas: A Book of Picture Riddles' book. We bought one each for our granchildren so they could more easily and peacefully look for things together rather than trying to jockey the book to get the best viewing angle for themselves. This is another great low key way to spend some time together. It's a fun Christmas seek and find book. We like it and they enjoy it! I think I see a winner! ~ Mrs. B.

another great I spy book

I bought this book for my kids ages six and seven. Good mix of tough to find and easy to find. If you are thinking of giving this as a gift I think it would be good for ages five and up.

Another Tradition

My husband has taken great delight since our son was born, 30 years ago, in reading his copy of "The Night Before Christmas" to him. Our son now wants to be the one to read this book to his daughter every year. My husband and I found this book while shopping one day and he thought Jessie might like it. That was an understatement. She's two years old and absolutely loves the book. She loves it so much, I couldn't bear to pack it away til next year. She only wants "grandaddy sonny" to read it to her and runs to get it every night before bed, and before naps. She never seems to tire of it and gets better and better at spotting the items. She has her favorite pages, and I even noticed that every page has something on it that relates to another. It's like a surprise every time she reads it! I would like to find others in this series, they're definitely books for life, and books to keep a tradition going forever.
