This review is from: School Bugs: An Elementary Pop-up Book by David A. Carter (Hardcover)

My daughter loves pop-up books. (They remain high on a shelf out of reach and we only read them together so she can't damage them). We have quite a collection now and her favorites are definitely these "bugs" books by Carter. We already have several and I came on Amazon to order more for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I usually order books that have the most/best reviews. Being that this book only had one review I figured it wasn't as popular as the others for a reason, but took a chance and ordered it anyhow. I am so glad I did! She likes this one the best (and so do I). Each page has a different box that open up to reveal various "bugs". A math box, an art box, a music box.....you get the idea. The music box has the Beetle Bugs (who look like The Beatles - ha!) My daughter's favorite box was the lunchbox which when opened revealed a sandwich inside. And I started to turn the page but she stopped me and opened the sandwich (leave it to a 3 year old to know that it opens up!!!!) But the best part of this book (and the most amazing) is the last page which has a playground. Bugs are hanging, swinging, climbing and going down the slide. The pop-up comes up 6 inches off the page and is 3D. My daughter just stared at it and then said "WOW mommy look at that!" And personally I think everyone should buy this book so their kids can say that too.

This review is from: School Bugs: An Elementary Pop-up Book by David A. Carter (Hardcover)

My boys (now age 5 & 9) ADORE David A. Carter's pop-up books in his "Bug" series and have for years!! We have a rather large collection of them. We haven't found one yet that they didn't enjoy. The artwork is engaging, the pop-up's are creative & the writing is silly & funny!

I probably wouldn't recommend the books for under the age of 3 to read/play with (unless the caregiver is handling the book) as some of the tabs & artwork can be torn if handles roughly. Once the kids have the hang of "touch nicely", these books are great for fun for all!!

Highly recommend!!

My kids and I love David A. Carter books. The bugs were cute and the story was entertaining for a preschooler / early reader.
