5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning book to treasure, 2 Jun 2006
By Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What an amazing, beautiful book. Every page has elaborately crafted pop-ups that compliment the well-known poem. Before I showed it to my son I must have spent an hour going back and forth through the pages enjoying the scenes for myself.

An earlier reviewer said that it was a book unsuitable for young children. I would say that it very much depends on the child in question. My 2 year old was thrilled by the book. It was intended for use only over the Christmas period, to be put away and stored until the following festive season. I think we actually managed to put it away in March, not because he tired of it but after repeated discussions about Christmas being over.

Not only did my little boy love the book, but he did not damage it. The book IS delicate and is not for unsupervised use by small children. But if children have reasonable language skills and can be trusted to do what they are told they can enjoy looking at the pictures and listening to the poem while an adult holds the book and turns the pages.

After buying this book I ordered several more copies as gifts for friends' children next Christmas as well as several other books by this unusally talented man.

5.0 out of 5 stars the night before christmas, 22 Nov 2003
By lynn harvey (ipswich, suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
i have just received this book for my nephew and niece to share (fight over!). i'm sorry but they're not getting this copy as it is the most beautifully made book i have ever seen. the pop-up description belies what a charming book it really is. i've now placed an order for another copy to keep my family happy (my age - 40!!). this is a book to pass down the generations and will be well-used by any little ones (and older ones) who come across it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, 9 Jun 2006

The creativity in use of colors and images, and the attention to detail makes it for a beautiful art. Sabuda does bring the Christmas spirit to your home. In fact, I think that this is one of the best Christmas books around. This is because it is a perfect Christmas gift not only for the smallest of children but for the whole family. Being an adult I also enjoy it. All children at my 9-years-old daughter's class made a big order for Sabuda's "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "The Night Before Christmas" together with Nowiki's two books from the series "Why some cats are rascals". The teacher's smart idea made for a great savings on shipping costs

This book is a marvel. It entranced everyone who saw it from a 4 year old to an 84 year old and even made my 21 year old persuade me to keep it. Read more

The intricacy, layout and artistry of this book is amazing. My children (5 and 2) absolutely love it although they do need to be reminded to be careful of the popups but so far... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!
This is just a beautiful piece of work. Must confess we haven't had the heart to let our 2 and half years old play with it, though... It'd be a real shame if it got damaged!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for under 5s
I have just returned this book as the pop ups were too scary for my children. Purchasers should note that they are mainly white, elaborate paper cut outs. Read more
