Snappy Little Bugs

I was really impressed with this line of pop up books!!! This book has bright cutely drawn bugs, and the pop-ups require no tabs to pull -- just open the page and the critters pop up! And I do have to say, the durability is about the best I've seen around! These books aren't totally indistructable, but the are very sturdy. This was the first pop-up book we bought for our son (16 mos old). We had thought, "give our son, a pop up book? you've got to be kidding". You're talking the the parent of a boy whose motto is, "If it's not coming, I just must not be pulling hard enough!" He just doesn't understand some things aren't meant to be pulled apart. But these books have survived very well. I still supervise him with them, the ones that did get ripped...just needed a little tape, and the pop-up still works.

We own many books in the Snappy line of pop-up books. This one is my daughter's favorite (followed closely by the Dinosaur book). It's one of the only books where I have to say that I will read it "Just one more time". I think that insects, spiders and worms hold a special appeal for the very young.It is well-loved, but does not have rips and tears like our lift-the-flap or pull-tab books. So far I haven't had to repair this book at all. The Snappy books are the only pop-up books we own that actually look "gently used".The bugs are drawn in such a way that they are identifiable, even by a small child. The pop-up actions differ from page to page, making the illustrations seem fresh.What I like best about this line of books is that the pop-up figures "work" without the use of pull tabs. Just opening the page causes the pop-up figures to rise from the page. This makes these books a little bit more durable than our pop-up books by other publishers.

We own many of the Snappy book series and Snappy Bugs is our favorite! The illustrations and colors are engaging and the pop-ups are creative and whimsical. I enjoy it as much as my 2 1/2 year old and 7 month old do. We never tire of reading it together. My only caution for those who have never purchased a Snappy book would be to realize that these are books for young children and parents/caregivers to share together--the pop-ups can be pretty delicate and if you're not careful, your book will be destroyed in no time. I highly recommend this book for anyone with small children.

I just bought this book for my grandson. I can't wait to share it with other moms and grandparents. The characters are very appealing, full of happiness and cheer. Even the spider makes me laugh. I loved the book and can't wait to get more. It is well worth the price.

We have all five of the Snappy books and our child loves them to death. He spends hours looking at the beautiful and creative pop-ups. I suggest you buy all of them right now!!!!
