Where Is Baby's Christmas Present?: A Lift-The-Flap Book (Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Books)

We have a few Kare Katz books and as I've said in a previous review they seem to be much stronger brighter colours and clearer pictures than any other lift the flap books (which are my eight month olds favourite type of book at present). This is my personal favourite. Its excellent to read in December really gets the anticipation for christmas going and I'm sure will be good next year as well probably the one after as well.

Perfect christmas book for a toddler.

2歳半の娘の為に購入しました。 シリーズで収集中です。 鮮やかな色使いが可愛く、クリスマスを知ってもらうには最適です！！ クリスマスツリーのオーナメントや、ジンジャーブレッドハウス、エンジェルなど、日本に馴染みのあるものも、そうでないものも、クリスマスのイベントとして楽しく英語が学べます。 残念ながらサンタクロースは登場しませんが、仕掛けをめくりながら、毎晩ベッドで読み聞かせました。

Got this for my 18 month old around Christmas time because she loves all the Karen Katz books and her signature baby drawings. My daughter LOVED it! She really loves answering all the questions such as "Is it in the closet?" or "Is it in the gingerbread house?" and she loves playing "peek-a-boo" with the lift-a-flaps and seeing what's under each one. It's such an engaging book surrounding the Christmas theme and I like that all the Christmas objects are things we have in our house at that time, like candy canes, stockings, wrapping paper, cookie dough, and gingerbread houses, so it's relateable to her. The illustrations are very colorful also. I really liked that the front cover has the shiny, textured present and was thinking the other illustrations would have that element as well like some of her earlier books, but I was disappointed that the illustrations didn't have shiny/touch and feel elements. The only downside is that the flaps come off easily - they seem cheaply glued on and so they aren't durable. You'll likely have to tape them back on. But overall, this is a great book and we like it even when it's not Christmas time!

Avevo altri libri della stessa autrice e devo dire che non deludono mai. Sono cartonati ed adatti alle mani dei piccolissimi, bisogna solo fare attenzione alle finestrelle che sono di un cartoncino più leggero. La storia e’ semplice ma adatta ai primi concetti sul Natale per bambini della materna o del nido che stanno imparando l’inglese.

I expected it to be a bit used but it there was only one of the six flaps actually left in the book. No fun for my little one at all. Very sad.

当時子供が1〜2歳の時に購入した本。 中身も色彩が鮮やかで目を惹くので幼い子供にとっても目を惹くつくりだと思う。 また、英語自体も分かりやすくてすぐに読めるので英語読み聞かせの導入としてはなかなか良書なのではと思う！ 買ってよかったです！
