My toddler does not like bugs in real life, but she absolutely LOVES this Jingle Bugs book. It keeps her very entertained and is a requested favorite bedtime story year round. However, I do suggest strong parental supervision as some of the pop ups will tear under the man-handling of impatient chubby fingers. (The ornament bug, in particular, gets caught on it's box.) The lights and music on the last page can be a little tricky, but with some gentle manuevering, they will work. Overall, this is a highly entertaining book with bright, amusing pictures and witty rhyme that both kids and parents will enjoy reading together.
great book!

My children love David Carter's pop-up bug books! My son destroyed my older daughter's copy, so I bought one for each of them this Christmas. Now he do what he wants with his, and my daughter will have a pristine copy.
Loved It!

Cute and Creative Christmas Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
My 18-month old daughter loves this book. The interactive elements are inventive and thoughtful. I also appreciate the quality of the rhyming text (sometimes the pop ups are cute, but the text is a mere boring afterthought), and there are a variety of different types of activities. Sometimes things pop up, other times there is a lift the flap. There is a bug ornament that you take out of the envelope and hang on the tree (which she loves to do again and again...I get so tired of that page!)If you are looking for a Christmas book that is interactive and a little bit different, this fits the bill.My only complaint is that the battery for the star on the last page has worn out, and it's not replacable! They should make it replacable like with so many other battery powered books.

This book is wonderful. My 4 kids look forward to getting it out every year to read. Even the 11 year old loves it. And... amazing to us... the battery in the back has lasted 6 years!
