5.0 out of 5 stars Snappy Little Halloween : Pop Up Book, November 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Snappy Little Halloween (Snappy Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)

This is an amazing pop up book for children with incredible detail. Children will see creepy characters with silly surprises. Features ten large pop-up treats with whimsical rhymes that lead little ones on a humorous hunt for creepy characters. My child and I both enjoyed this book as we celebrated Halloween.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Bit Crappy Halloween, October 21, 2007

This review is from: Snappy Little Halloween (Hardcover)

"Snappy Little Halloween" is a pop-up book featuring assorted Halloween characters (witches, ghosts, mummies etc).

The illustrations are incredible. The children love to see the scary creatures spring out. Each page contains a short verse on a character.

"Halloween's a time for spells. This witch makes strange things grow.

But - oops! - she's made her nose too long - OH! OH! OH!"

I wasn't happy with the verses. I felt that the author wasn't making a genuine effort to describe these characters. In particular, there is a suit of arms, yet young children (two's and three's) who may not have ever seen one, wouldn't know what the characters name was because it is not mentioned. The same can be said for Frankenstein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book for 2 year old!, November 3, 2004

This review is from: Snappy Little Halloween (Hardcover)

When I first saw the book, I thought the mummies,witches and monsters might scare my 2 year old daughter. I was so wrong. She loved the rhyming, repetative words at the end of each page. "Halloween's a time for spells, this witch makes strange things grow. But OOPS she's made her nose too long, OH OH OH!" Long after Halloween was over (much to mom's chagrin) we still want the Halloween book. And she could recite it word for word to me, without my prompting her. She would bring it out at times other than bedtime and want to read it to me- or vice versa. The pop -ups were colorful and animated. I would recommend the Snappy series to all moms of toddlers. We had the Christmas and Snowtime versions last Christmas ( my daughter was 18 months) she would sit for half an hour as long as someone read them to her over and over. A great way to introduce kids to reading!
