This is a three-dimensional Advent calendar that opens to a five-pointed star shape "carousel" and can be fastened in either open or shut position with ribbon ties. The illustrations are beautiful and the artist makes imaginative use of Advent calendar windows to reveal elements layered behind the façade of the scenes.
This is a splendid telling of the birth of Jesus; the illustrations are sweetly simple, but the glory of the moment in time is captured magnificently. The book is landscape oriented and ties closed; once inside, the first few spreads open like theater curtains revealing the scene within. The final spread (my favorite) opens this way as well revealing the Magi giving their gifts to the Christ child.

An enjoyable, interactive holiday book, one perfectly suited to young carol lovers, Ding Dong! Merrily On High: A Pop-up Book of Christmas Carols is a book I have long been meaning to track down, so I'm glad my inter-library loan for it finally came in. The paper engineering here is simple but effective, and the artwork appealing. I was surprised to see that the verse used for O Christmas Tree was not what I was used to. It reads "O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thou tree most fair and lovely," rather than what I was used to: O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! How lovely are thy branches." I was unaware that there were multiple versions of this song in English translation. I am familiar with the German original, and am not sure where this alternate version comes from. Leaving aside that puzzle, this is a book I would recommend to all young carol lovers, especially those that appreciate more interactive, pop-up style books.… (más)
