Christmas Around the World

Critical Praise

"This books comes to life with beautiful and colorful illustrations that pop up when you turn the pages. Each page has an exquisite pop up that relates to the story on that particular double page spread as well as flaps that fold out and tell more of the story or small booklets, interactive pieces, and more. Click here to see a couple of pictures of the pop ups. The back of the book is a box that pulls out with a Santa sleigh that you can pop together. Overall, I give this book 5 stars for it's beauty, interesting tidbits and story as well as it's uniqueness."

"Christmas Around The World is a delightful book and will make an envious gift, but not for children. This is a collector’s gift, a work of art. The book is well made other than a few of the pop-ups extending slightly too far. They will be easily bent and damaged. My copy will be a family heirloom, passed from generation to generation."

"No better time than, like, right now to dive into CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD, a pop-up book by Chuck Fischer. The volume is pretty thick, which should give you an idea how elaborate the 3-D pop-ups actually are. The scenes depict settings of seasonal celebration via die-cut pieces with the requisite pull tabs for interaction. Flaps on the spreads fold out to reveal mini-booklets adorned with authentic Victorian illustrations, and delving into related historical topics like Charles Dickens, advent calendars and the real Saint Nicholas."

"This is hands down the most amazing pop-up book I've ever seen. I can't imagine the work that went into designing and assembling each one. There is so much to look at in this book that I've read through it three times and I still keep finding hidden surprises like pullouts and mini booklets. The book features stories and traditions from countries such as, France, Germany, Russia, Latin America, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States. This book could easily become a treasured family tradition. The whole family enjoyed gathering around this one. It would also make an amazing Christmas gift."

"Christmas Around the World is richly illustrated and provides a wealth of information in a fun and interesting manner. Fischer highlights fascinating holiday traditions and shows readers that while the celebrations may differ in some ways, in many they are similar. It's a good lesson at a time of year when many people think of others and perhaps see that we are not so different after all."
