My son absolutely loves David A. Carter books!! I get him one for every occassion. Jingle Bugs is his favorite. I highly recommend any David A. Carter book for your young children!! They have wonderful illustrations, you can move the bugs and some even come out of the book. These books just make you smile! I'm so glad I found them.

David visited my Kindergarten class yesterday and provided a wonderful show. The books get better and better! His CD-roms for Kindergarten are the best I've seen. My kids almost demand to take them home for a night or a weekend.

Now we own 4 of David Carter's books, and we LOVE them all, but I think this is our favorite. Almost every night my 1 1/2 year old son and 3 1/2 year old daugher love to pile in the Laz-E-Boy for me to read this book. They never tire of it, and it is so cute! It's got jumping bed bugs jumping on the bed, giggling bathtime bugs in a bathtub, a tiny bug-lullaby book within this book that they love for me to sing (and this tiny book also has pop-ups itself which is so neat), a bug where you turn the dial showing the thoughts in his head as it gets more and more sleepy till it's finally asleep, a bug angel that is a big pop-up, and a star behind a curtain that my kids love me making it glow (against the lightbulb for a second, turn the light off, and the bug-star glows in the dark). It's very fun!

Unlike my firstborn, my 1 1/2 year old is unfortunately not a book lover, and these are some of the only books he'll sit still for and actually takes a great interest in them. So thank goodness for these books!
