From Publishers Weekly
acked with pop-ups, pull tabs and liftable flaps, Richard Scarry's Mr. Fixit's Mixed-Up Christmas! follows the hero as he moves through the town, leaving Easter eggs, Valentines and birthday cakes in his wake. Brief text and funny phrases wind around the perimeter of each spread.

From School Library Journal
reS-K-In addition to Scarry's signature little vignettes of active characters filling the pages, the pop-up illustrations here can be seen from both sides, and the book can be read upside-down. The approach works well for a book about befuddled Mr. Fixit, who gets it all wrong as he decorates-ostensibly for Christmas-all over town. Preschoolers will enjoy finding Valentine hearts, Easter eggs, birthday candles, and Halloween motifs before Mr. Fixit finally gets the Busytown Christmas tree up (or down). A fun gift book, or for libraries with toy and movable book collections.-S. P.
