Nibbles Christmas is a fun, rhyming story featuring Nibbles the book monster who likes to eat everything. I’d never heard of Nibbles before but there are a few stories available to purchase about him.
In this book, children get to count from ten to one and watch as Nibbles makes a mess such as eating toy robots or crashing into rockets.
Each page is highly illustrated with full-page pictures which contain Nibbles eating or breaking something, a hole in the page, and the number that the page count is on in both number format and the written word.
This is a story I can see children giggle along with. I enjoyed it and found Nibbles completely amusing. An amazing festive story that is small in size and with it being a board book you can be safe in the knowledge that your little ones won’t easily be able to destroy it, unlike Nibbles!
When you just bought this book a few days ago, and your 2.5 year old already has it memorized, you know it's a good book. I originally wasn't going to purchase this book; however, my son saw a picture of it and requested it. He loves Nibbles Christmas. It counts down to 10 and after we read the book, my son goes to find our Nibbles plush toy. We've read this book probably 4 or 5 times in a row every day... and we've only had this book for 4 days. I highly recommend this book! It's probably one of my favorite in the Nibbles series.
I love the Nibbles series! This was a delightful addition and perfect to read during the holiday season. Nibbles chews his way through a Christmas countdown! The holes in the pages are fun for my toddler son because it makes it so easy for him to turn the page.
