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

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!

Such a well made book for a baby and or a toddler. I have used it for both. It has little flaps that one has to help obviously a baby flip, but that is ok. The illustrations are adorable, bright , and very colorful!

This one is no exception. He enjoys having his mommy read these Karen Katz books over & over to him. He knows when she skims over because she's in a hurry & doesn't lift the flaps. He'll hit the book, grunting like a little caveman & she knows it's time for a do-over. Where is Baby's Christmas Present is full of bright colors to keep his attention all the way through from beginning to the end. Will purchase more Karen Katz Where is Baby's books until we have the full collection. Wonderful & engaging for infants & toddlers. Highly recommend!

My toddler (a fan of "Where Is Baby's Belly Button?") chose this as a holiday gift for her baby brother. I like the large, sturdy flaps and bright colors in this series, and it's a great length for a baby who's just learning to sit still and turn the pages. Some of the reveals are a little odd (like why are there stockings under Baby's pillow?), and as other reviewers have noted, the final reveal is just a picture of the present itself, which begs the question of what Baby actually received *inside* the box. This ended up working nicely for us, since we finished the book each time talking about what we thought might be in the present. My toddler had some amusing ideas, but she most often said, "Christmas books!"

My daughter is 4, and these are her absolutely favorite books! We have all different kinds. She literally memorizes each page. We were missing this one so I figured the perfect time to get it would be right before Christmas. It was exactly what I expected. No damage. I can’t wait for her to open it so I can read it to her!

Excellent lift-the-flap kids book. I gave lots of these books to my nephew's kids as gifts. My nephew's wife is VERY picky as to what she likes - I think she wasn't sure what she thought of these books at first, but her son chooses these books to be read time and time again. I think she likes the sturdiness of the board books. I loved lift-the-flap when I was a kid - I'm glad my grand(?)-nephew enjoys them too - they make reading books (and learning from them) fun!

We have the big yellow "Peekaboo" boardbook where the flaps are pretty durable and are, essentially, just a continuation of the page. I ordered this book, not really hoping for the same, but I suppose just assuming it would be. The book is SUPER cute, Baby looks all over the house for their present and can't find it, last page baby looks under the tree. However, the flaps seem to be more of a cardstock than a cardboard like the book is, and they're glued to the page rather than part of it. I have a 1 year old, we'll be opening it during December as part of our "25 books of Christmas" so I'm not sure just yet how it will hold up to her but, I do know she gets a little "excited" about the flaps in the other book. Also, some open up, some pull down, some sideways. So, if you have a child who is used to opening flaps of other books in just 1 direction, be aware, these little guys might get pulled off easy. It's not that this is really a complaint, just something that, as a mom of a curious tot, I would have liked to know. Enjoy!

Love this series of books, seriously what kid doesn't love the flaps?! We have a couple in this series and purchased the Christmas book for all the new babies in our family this year. The parents really enjoyed them and the kids loved it because it's interactive while being cute. I would recommend to others and amazon always has the best price on books, local stores are always higher and often out of stock.

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。

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.

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.

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！
