This next installment of the wildly popular Bugs series captures what everyone loves about chilly weather! From snowflakes and ski lifts to hot chocolate and snow angels, this new title is a perfect way to stay warm during the cold days of winter!
Paper-over-board book has cardstock pages with pop-ups on each spread.
David A. Carter is a master paper engineer and creator of the Bugs series, which has sold more than 6 million copies. Also the author and illustrator of the critically acclaimed Color series, featuring One Red Dot, Blue 2, 600 Black Spots, Yellow Square, and White Noise, he lives in Auburn, California, with his wife and two daughters.
The last pop-up page of the snowbugs is the most elaborate pop-up in the book. For once my nephew and I agreed on our favorite page, the page “Who’s behind the snow fort? The crazy wild Snowball bugs.” Those were the best.
I don’t think this is David’s best work, but it’s still a good pop-up book. The nephew still loves to study them and figure out how they work. He gave this 4 stars.
Very strange little book that is not consistent in character - are the bugs inanimate objects with wings that make up the world or are the bugs actors in the world?
No real story, but children love this one (and all the other "bug books" by Carter) because of the simple words they can either learn to read themselves or anticipate and because of the fun pop-ups. An oft-read favorite of the children.
