A Blue's Clues Holiday

MY 2Y/O LOVES TO READ THIS BOOK WHILE WATCHING THE MOVIE. IT WAS A GREAT DEAL AND IT CAME IN JUST 3DAYS.I THINK IT GIVES AN EXCELLENT GENERAL VIEW OF WHAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE ABOUT,WITHOUT GETTING TO IN DETAIL TO UPSET ANYONE.

"A Blue's Clues Holiday" is a classic "Blue's Clues" book (featuring Steve) loaded with fun holiday ideas. Like most earlier "Blue's Clues" books, Steve is inserted into the illustrated story using photography. The book starts out with everyone in the Blue's Clues house making holiday decorations. There's paper chains, paper snowflakes and even a bubble snowman from Slippery. There's also Mr. Salt and Mrs. Peppers' delicious recipe for snowball cookies. We also visit each of Blue's to give them a holiday present. We see how they all celebrate the holidays. This book mentions a number of different holidays and some may consider it to be somewhat "politically correct." But really, it's true to the TV series and fans of the show will likely enjoy this book.

My son (nearly 3) loves this book, and we have been reading it long past the holiday season. He probably loves it because it has all of his favorite Blues Clues characters. I like it because it equally recognizes all of the winter holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa)and discusses activities that are appropriate for all three--making cookies, paper snowflakes, etc. This book is sweet, appealing, and sensitive to that fact that there are many holiday traditions, and for that we give it five stars!

My kids love this book. It has activities that are simple and fun for small kids to do. The cookies that the kids made even came out well. Even if you don't do the activities, the book is just sweet and cute and teaches the kids about the different holidays that are celebrated in winter.
