As day turns to night, bright red cardinals flit from branch to branch, deer paw through the snow, and weasels in their white winter coats frolic among the berry-laden holly. Soon all the animals settle down to sleep. In Winter , simple verse and scenes bring to life the countryside as snow begins to fall. Each spread’s pop-up and lift-up flap reveal the wonders of the season and all the animals as they settle down for the night. Also available by David A A Pop-Up Book .

David Carter is a wiz when it comes to cute pop-up books. He has all the seasons out there and this is his Winter pop-up. I think this is our 4th for the year.
I am amazed that he can make something so simple like snowflakes look so amazing when they pop out. There are 8 pages here. My favorites are the snowflakes and the Tree that grows. They amaze me. The nephew loves the holly tree and all of them really. I love how he can spend about 20 minutes by himself being quite, engaged and interested in a book. There are a few lift the flaps too. Seriously, I get these pop-up books often because I enjoy them - true, but more because my nephew loves to try and figure out how they work. It's great to see him not a zombie in front of the TV or going crazy the rest of the time. He gave it 5 stars. Who knows, maybe one day he'll design these books.
