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!

This is by far one of the best childrens holiday books I've ever seen..My 2 year old nephew has had me read it to him over and over and over.."do it again" is his mantra! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who even remotely knows a child or is a child at heart. I just finished reading it to a bunch of my co-workers, who went absolutely "buggy" over it! I believe the fun in this book is reading it with others...Simply - buy it - you will not soon see a book that will make you smile like this one :)

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 is enjoyed by my 18 month old as well as my 4 1/2 year old. They get a kick out of the surprises from flipping the flaps to pulling the tabs. Keeps them busy for at least 20 minutes and easy enough to read for my 4 1/2. Try the Feely Bugs Book, just as enjoyable and entertaining to kids.

My daughter uses this book to make bedtime drag on forever! There are tons of things to pull, push and open. Leave it in the reading room...kinds can stretch this into a 20 minute bedtime ritual!

If you are looking for amazing pop-ups buy the Robert Sabuda books. The push-pull-pop-up features in this book are pretty plain and unexciting. Perhaps very small children will be entertained but my five- and six-year-old were bored. The final page with music and blinking lights on the Christmas tree weren't enough to make them want to read it again.

I love reading this book with my children. David Carter's books are always fun to read.

BUY JINGLE BUGS!!!!!! I DONT CARE IF YOUR 65!! YOULL STILL LOVE IT! ITS SO CUTE! I WANT TO BE A JINGLE BUG!!!!!

With 4 children, I thought this book would be a delight. All but the baby were disappointed (she loves the light and music at the end!). My 4 yr. old can't figure out what the Holly Bugs are (those are just eyes, Mom, where are the bugs?) and my 9 and 11 year old weren't even interested enough to look at it more than once. "Why'd you buy this one, Mom?" Personally, I think the pop-ups themselves are cleverly done. Overall, as an adult, I like the book. I'm just disappointed that my kids didn't respond more positively to it.

My 18 month old absolutely loves this book. His two favorite books are this one and Halloween Bugs. He loves manipulating the various activities on each page and it takes forever to get through the book! Even when he is grumpy and nothing else will calm him down, he will sit peacefully and go through the pages of this book. We plan on buying him the others in the series as well!
