This is a cute book for the a toddler (my 16 month old son LOVES these books), but this book is not the winner Halloween Bugs is (I highly recommend-- plus, bugs fit in better for that season). But this book is fun and cute nonetheless. Problem is, the one light in the whole book, along with the music, is the last page, and neither work! The light doesn't light up at all, and the music is this pathetic dying noise. I'd exchange it, but don't think I want to mess with shipping it back. I'd say buy this book if you think your little will enjoy it, but don't be too disappointed if the last page doesn't work.

UPDATE: I have since returned this book for a new one, and the new book is working great. Both my 16 month old and 3 yr old love it. The only problem is how my 16 month old isn't gentle with these books, but it is worth the price, even if I have to replace it one day.

that once you buy one of these books, you'll end up with the entire collection. Children love these pop-up books because they are like no other books out there. The pages are beautiful and sturdy, while being incredibly interactive. We have so much fun reading this book. This series puts all other pop-up books to shame. The rest are the boring "lift-a-flap" for every page. Tons of fun and surprises are in store for the little hands that turn these pages!

I began a collection of pop up books for my 2 year old niece (and myself). She particularly loves all of the Bug pop up books! She has played with this one so much that the poor Christmas Tree has lost it's light! The sound is still there however. I have to purchase another one for her. We have 6 or 7 of these pop up books. She loves each one of them! They fit her little hands. She loves the birthday bug book with the gifts, birthday hat, cake and candles. I have had to reinforce the candles because she has a birthday party everyday and blows out the candles! She has been taught to be gentle with "her" books. She has a special shelf for all of her pop ups and she will slways bring one or two of her bug books to me to share with her. You will not go wrong with this series of books. I am going to buy them all! Enjoy!

I have bought 3 of these books over the years! I first read it years ago when one of my preschoolers brought it to school. The kids loved it! I purchased one for my preschool and have used it every Christmas over the years. I also bought one for my son and he loved it and now I am reading it again to my 3 babies who also love it! The star at the end is darling. Text is simple and pictures colorful. I highly recommend this book.

I purchased this book for my 3 little girls in November of 2005. We read it every night in December and then packed it away with the Christmas decorations. Every year since then, we've done the same thing. And every year, this darling little book comes through. My girls are now 5 years older, but still can't wait until the last page of this book, when they can turn the lights in the room off and watch the blinking lights and listen to the darling little song. I'm seriously amazed that it still works. But it does!!

My toddler does not like bugs in real life, but she absolutely LOVES this Jingle Bugs book. It keeps her very entertained and is a requested favorite bedtime story year round. However, I do suggest strong parental supervision as some of the pop ups will tear under the man-handling of impatient chubby fingers. (The ornament bug, in particular, gets caught on it's box.) The lights and music on the last page can be a little tricky, but with some gentle manuevering, they will work.

Overall, this is a highly entertaining book with bright, amusing pictures and witty rhyme that both kids and parents will enjoy reading together.

When my 6-year-old son used to read this book, he laughed himself silly. It's a question/answer book, so he loved it when he learned to answer the questions himself. (Question: "What will be build when the snowflakes fall?" Answer: "A snowbug, of course, wings and all!") Now, my 3-year-old daughter reads this book all the time. Unfortunately, after 4 years of love, our copy has become pretty tattered. I've just ordered a replacement copy and can't wait to see her face when it arrives. As for the lighted tree and music on the last page, ours is STILL WORKING after all these years! I'm sure the battery will run out eventually (and there's no way to replace it), but I've been amazed at how long it's hung in there! This book has so many little things for kids to do, who cares if there's only one light in the book??? The kids certainly don't!

My granddaughter was introduced to the pop up Bugs books at the library. I purchased Jingle Bugs for her for Christmas and it was a huge hit! She loves all the bugs, the pop ups and especially the music and lights at the end.

My 8 month old daughter LOVES this book! She makes us read it to her over and over and over!

I love this series of pop-up bug books. The only problem I had with this particular book is the last page had a musical tab to pull. The battery in the book I purchased did not last long at all. I only pulled the tab twice and the battery is already dead. It will sometimes play a second or two of music, but it sounds like the battery is dying. Other than that it is an adorable book. Even without the music, my daughter loves it.
