Children's Literature Review: It's a light-up book! There are nine pages to this quick-read text with one or two sentences or phrases per page. The entire text is a short poem that begins with "Christmas is coming," professes joy at the lights "winkling and blinking" around the town, comments on the elves and Santa as they work on the gifts Santa will bring to good children, and culminates in sharing the actual day of Christmas with one's family. On every page there is a one-inch hole through which the "Press to light up the night" button can be pushed. Six additional smaller holes that cut through every page flash in a variety of colors. The very young will enjoy the light show; older readers will probably comment on how quickly the book is done even as they continue to enjoy lighting up the book. This is a very visual choice for younger readers.
