Amazon.com Review

Kids who love Lee Wade's interactive Cheerios board books, The Cheerios Play Book and The Cheerios Animal Play Book will be delighted come Christmastime to discover the latest: The Cheerios Christmas Play Book. Grownups can read along with children as they fill in the missing O's with their favorite cereal. Elves need pompons on their shoes, snowmen are missing decorations on their funny hats, and reindeer are sorely lacking in shiny noses. Recessed circles allow children to place Cheerios in just the right places to complete the scenes. Wade's simple, richly colored illustrations are tremendously appealing. The text is equally uncomplicated, with a repeating theme: "One tree needs ornaments. Can you add some?" Save the "don't play with your food" rule for later--this surprisingly cute board book is sure to be a favorite with the Cheerios-chomping set. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Product Description

HO, HO, HO

Celebrate Christmas with Cheerios! Children can place their own Cheerios or Frosted Cheerios in the recessed spaces to decorate a tree, put noses in Santa's reindeer, and complete other merry scenes.

Tasty, interactive holiday fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fun book, September 10, 2008

By	S. Wade - See all my reviews

I have given different "Cheerios" books to all of my grand children and we have all enjoyed them ! And using Cheerios as a 'prop' makes it fun for them while they are learning! I highly recommend any of the Cheerios books! They are a great way to spend time with your little ones!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cheerios Christmas Play Book, December 30, 2008

By	Anna M. Ligtenberg "AnnaLovesBooks" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

ISBN 068984008x - There are a bunch of similar books out there, featuring various cereals, raisins, and candies. I really do like them all, but I love this one best of all.

Each set of facing pages has a large image that covers both pages. Next to those images is text that explains what's missing and asks for your help in filling the missing spots. Cheerios are used to fill in for pom-poms on elves shoes, tree ornaments and more.

Oh. My. Gosh. Really!? Play with your food? And Mom says it's cool? All right! Cheerios, among the most common and popular finger foods for toddlers, make great "toys" in this case. If it gets your child into books, and gets them eating Cheerios (generally accepted as a healthy snack), you've gotten more than your money out of this one. The pages are very thick, sturdy board book pages and will stand up to a lot of abuse. They're all glossy, which makes them easy to wipe clean except for one thing. The spots where the missing Cheerios go are recessed on the pages and are NOT glossy, so getting them wet will damage them. This is one you really ought to pick up!

4.0 out of 5 stars 1 y.o. grandson loves this book!, March 13, 2007

By	Joan Johnson "average reader" (WC, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 1 year old grandson picked this book out at the library (by chance) but thoroughly enjoyed it. Sitting in his high chair, munching on his cheerios (a favorite finger food), he loved putting his cheerios in the little open circles. He also laughed when he tried to pick up the book's cheerios (pictures). I don't think his interest will last long, but it was definitely fun for him. I think it would make a very nice present for the 1 to 2 year old set!
