Customer Reviews

Really cute and original

My 6 and 2 year old kids love this book and wanted to read it over and over during Christmas. The bugs are really cute and Christmas themed. There are tinsel bugs, gingerbread bugs, fruitcake bugs, yodeling Christmas tree bugs. The pop ups work smoothly.You can even sing the book to the tune of 12 days of Christmas - if you can stand it.

Great Pop ups--Cute Adaptation of 12 Days

I am a big fan of David Carter's bug pop up books. At first the concept seems a bit odd and off setting, but they really are cute bugs, and the interactive elements are quite thoughtful and inventive.This book goes through the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," but makes up new words that are related to his buggy creations. Throughout the book, you open each present (lift the flap), to see the bugs inside. Inside each package is some type of pop up element (my favorite is the one that comes complete with tinsel). Each is creative, delicate (as one reader mentioned), and attention getting. My only reservation about this book is that the interactive elements are not as diverse as in his other Christmas book, Jingle Bugs. With this book, it is basically entirely lift the flap, whereas the other one has different types of activities throughout. However, I do like the fact that you can sing to this one (a great plus in keeping little ones interested).

What a Kick!

This is the cutest book for adults and children. You must have it sung outloude. Prepare for fun.

A Fun Read Together Book

What a cute book. Fun illustrations with catchy words to an old favorite Christmas tune. Great way to reenforce counting skills. My grandchild and I throughly enjoyed singing along.
