MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS is a cute, interactive board book with a Christmas theme. The book features a Christmas-related character on each page with holes for fingers to go through and be the legs. It includes reindeer, Santa, a tree topper, elf, and more. The text includes a brief sentence about what it is along with a sound related word for auditory fun.

What I loved: This is a really simple and interactive book. The finger element definitely makes the story with something children can explore on their own and with caregivers. The text is really simple, which will work best for older infants and young toddlers, with a sentence describing what it is as well as a sound-related phrase such as "ting-a-ling" and "flip-flap-flip" for some auditory fun. Children will giggle as they wiggle fingers through the book. The illustrations are cute, brightly colored, and with simple backgrounds that works well for the intended age group.

Final verdict: MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS is a fun, interactive board book that will charm the youngest readers around Christmas.
