In this dazzling holiday pop-up, David A. Carter's fun-filled Bugs return to make Chanukah brighter and happier. In eight spreads, one for each night of Chanukah, Bugs take the shape of Chanukah gifts hidden underneath large flaps. For the first night, a Shammash Bug gives off a warm glow with fiery colors that change with the pull of a tab. Later, for the third night, the Dizzy Dreidel Bug pops out and spins around when the flap is lifted. Other holiday bugs include sizzling Potato Latke Bugs, "Bubbie bug with a holiday feast," and, finally, a large pop-up of Menorah Bugs. A worthy successor to Carter's other holiday classic, The 12 Bugs of Christmas, this delightful interactive book is a lighthearted introduction to Chanukah for kids.

School Library Journal

PreS-K-Just when we thought every kind of bug imaginable had popped out from a box, along come the "Shammash Bug," the "Dizzy Dreidel Bug" (that spins on a straw when he pops up), sizzling "Potato Latke Bugs" in a skillet, and more. Carter is in good form, combining humor with handsome graphics and impressive paper engineering.-S. P. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
