This review is from: Snow Bugs: A Wintery Pop-up Book (Bugs in a Box Books) (Hardcover)

This is a small book that fits well in little hands and offers a cute pop-up scene on each page. Each scene is appealing and not too complicated, but with enough movement to please a little one. After our record snowy winter, I thought my grandchildren would enjoy this book since they are huge pop-up book fans, but found it oriented to younger children than my 6 and 9 year old.

For younger children, the scenes are mostly sturdy enough to withstand a certain amount of roughness and could be enjoyed independently by even a two-year-old. The snowman on the last page is more elaborate--and more fragile--and the dancing ballerina may not dance for long :) but would still be cute when she pops up on the frozen pond.

This would be a great Christmas present next year, or even a fond memory come summer of the snowy fun many children had this winter.

My 9 month old daughter loves this book! She loves books in general, but most books don't hold her attention span when I am reading them to her (she prefers to play with them herself). This book, however, keeps her enthralled! She loves discovering what's behind each page, and I am definitely going to be purchasing more from this author. She is so amazed by the book she doesn't even try to grab the pages!
