4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book But Fell Apart Quickly, December 2, 2009

This review is from: Beach Bugs: A Sunny Pop-up Book by David A. Carter (Hardcover)

My 2 year old daughter loves these pop up books and was so excited when this one arrived. It's such a clever design and she particularly loves the blinking lights of the fireflies. The only complaints that I have is that the spine came loose very quickly and one of the pages fell apart after only pulling the flap twice so now when we come to that page, she promptly tells me "broken". Love the books but was disappointed in how quickly it fell apart, even when trying to be careful with the pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Pop-up Bugs book!, September 22, 2008

We own many of the "Bugs" pop-up books, and this one is just as wonderful as the others. This one even includes "lightning bugs" that blink! The book is very colorful inside and out. My kids and I love to read it again and again. David Carter is known for his exceptional "pop-up book" work. This book keeps in line with that tradition.

Our grandchildren loved the pop up books by David A Carter so we bought one for our grand nephew who was visiting from France with his mom who is originally from NY. He enjoyed the book very much.
