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.

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.

This book really tests the reading skills of youngsters. It is so cute and the kids just love it.

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

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).

My children never tire of hearing Mom sing "The 12 Bugs of Christmas" offkey! They ask for it year-round, but I have relegated it to "Christmas only", except on very special occasions during the year. The book is fragile, but the excitement of the pop ups is well worth the money.

My 3 1/2yr old bug lover is enamored with this book (and Jingle Bugs too). He LOVES to sing the 12-bugs-of Christmas and it is good for his memory skills to try to remember them all. When he hears the 12-Days-of-Christmas on the radio, he always points out how it is so similar to HIS song! Ha!

This book is really great. It is full of cute bugs and great pop-ups. My daughter loves it and we sing it all year.

I gave this to my son early before christmas. He loves it and will read it to himself. He did manage to rip some of the angels off the last page within a few minutes. Other than that, it's nice and larger size than the other books.

I love these bug books! The stories are cute and the pop-ups are adorable. My daughter loves the books, but I have to keep them out of her reach because she has ripped some of the pop-ups. Great series for little kids.
