If It's Christmas and You Know It...

Toddler-PreS--Children embark on festive adventures, including choosing a Christmas tree, baking a cake, singing holiday songs, and sharing heartfelt gifts. By scanning the QR code on the book's cover, readers can join in the festive fun by singing along, as the book's text comprises the lyrics to a cheerful holiday song in the tune of "If You're Happy, and You Know It." Furthermore, the book's interactive nature invites children to engage with the vibrant illustrations. Each page has an element of movement where little ones can use their fingers to manipulate the illustration to fit the theme shown. For instance, when the text reads, "If it's Christmas and you know it, sing a song!" readers can slide open the front door of the house to reveal carolers. Illustrations feature diverse representations of children within the pages. With colorful illustrations and heartwarming content, this book captures the essence of Christmas, spreading joy to families far and wide. VERDICT A charming movable book that promises to delight readers of all ages, making it a must-have addition to any holiday collection.--Kirsten Caldwell
