Review by School Library Journal Review
Baby-Toddler--It's Christmas Eve, and all of the beautiful and bright decorations are settling down for their sleep before the big day--with the exception of those noisy crinkle bells. The crinkly bells won't stop moving and grooving, and they are now keeping all of the other decorations awake. Children can sing along to the popular Christmas carol "Jingle Bells" as they read. In this touch-and-feel book, the bells are true crinkle bells, as they are made with crinkly paper on top of the board book foundation. Young children will delight in the familiarity of the song as well as the ability to make the crinkle sounds with these bells. Brightly colored illustrations create a festive feeling, while the touch-and-feel portion of the illustrations add to the visual and auditory appeal. This is a wonderful holiday gift for little ones and will be a book they ask to hear over and over again. VERDICT Recommended for general purchase for any board book collection. The early childhood population will find this to be an attractive holiday time book to read together.--Kristen Todd-Wurm
