Summary: Probably the year's most delicious book!
Review: Absolutely a stunning feat of paper engineering! You almost wish you could eat the cookies as they pop off the page into your eyes. A clever little story without words occurs behind the simple rhyme that counts out all the cookies. For those watching the waistline, be glad you can only look at the pictures, and this book will stuff only stockings this holiday season and not tummies!

Summary: Lovely!
Review: Beautiful book. Please note that the swirling mechanism on the "pinwheel" cookies may need a little fixing:
The pinwheel pop-up was stuck to the page and wouldn't pop-up; and once unstuck it wouldn't twirl.
I had to wrap the string around the base of the plastic post. Apparantly it had not been wrapped tightly enough. Once that was done the mechanism worked perfectly.
So, if you are giving this as a gift, make sure you check it first to see that all the pop-up mechanisms work. If you are sending directly as a gift for a child, let the parents know so they can supervise as the child opens the book for the first time.

Summary: disappointed
Review: This book is a let down. The pop-ups are not pretty at all. Everything seems to be the same color.

Summary: A tasty book indeed!
Review: This is a great pop-up book for children and adults alike. Each page is full of texture and color leading up to a climactic gingerbread explosion!

Summary: Wow!
Review: This is an amazing pop-up! It isn't for little fingers though. Lots of tantalizing papers to pull! However, seated on your lap, your child will adore the book. Mr. Sabuda has fabulous books, they are fantastic to look at. I have his butterly book also, and it is just as engaging.
You will love to count cookies with your little one!

Summary: Excellent Pop Up Book
Review: We got this book as a Christmas gift last year. This pop-up book is like no other that I have seen. The children learn to count as they watch the paper come alive. The rhymes are easy to learn and my 3 year old daughter loves to say them as she turns the pages. Note: She is a very careful child, many children would tear the book as it is kind of delicate. She also counts the cookies and the hiding mice on each page. The colors are explosive and even I like reading this book over and over. I cannot even imagine how he gets paper to do the things that they do... cookies rotate, pinwheels rise out of the page and twirl, and a life sized gingerbread house magically climbs out of the book. I would highly recommend this book as long as they will not handle the book roughly. Better yet, read it with them and teach them to be gentle.
