Ok pop-up book but...:
It features 8 layouts (16 pages) one for each night with a pop-up bug(s) theme. Each layout has a "gift box" that you open (lift flap) to reveal the pop-up bug (Shammash bug, Golden Gelt bug, Bubbie bug, etc). As much as I want to say nice things, I have reservations about this book. As far a function, my dreidel arrived broken (it is supposed to spin), so yours might not last. As far as theme, the menorah is presented as a 4-armed candelabra. While this makes for a more dramatic pop up, should this kind of... more info
Great Book:
My two and a half year old doesn't like any book. It is hard to get him interested in a book until we found Carter's books. He loves every bug book he has.

my boys love this book!:
this is a book that my sons (ages 1 & 3) enjoy year-round. it doesn't have explanations of the chanukah traditions, but it does have amazing things that pop-up when you "open" the present flaps (the dizzy dreidl bug is pretty neat). parents & kids can read the book together and give explanations of their own family traditions at chanukah time. i would say that this is a nice light-hearted presentation of chanukah sights.
The Worst!:
Absolutely the worst Chanukah book I have ever seen! Mr. Carter knows very little about Chanukah. Not a single one of the seven gifts (why not 8?) is wrapped in Chanukah wrapping paper; in fact, one is wrapped in paper that says "Peace, Joy, Happiness", which sounds like it belongs on a gift for someone else's December holiday. The "menorah" is a 4-branch candelabra, not a Chanukiyah. If you want your child to begin to learn something about Chanukah, choose another book.
