Absolutely gorgeous, lots of pop-ups, pockets, pictures. Just full of information. There’s even a full, mini advent calendar in the Germany section.
This is something to pass down to future generations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop-Up Christmas Book - multi featured
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2008
Verified Purchase
Although this book is not inexpensive, Amazon had the best price by far! I saw it in a brick and mortor store and really loved both the overall design and the many little extras. Besides a stand-up in each page spread, there are little "books" on one or both sides that give more detailed info on that country. There are a couple of "sliders" and a small tray that holds a pop-up sleigh (not attached to the book).

This is not really a child's book - except when fully supervised by an adult. Kids will enjoy the pictures but not fully understand all the details given about each country.

It would make a great family tradition to look and read during the Christmas season.

My only disappointment is that more countries(and pages)were not included.

It is high quality paper and worth the half-off the listing price that Amazon offers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a pop-up book
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2007

Not really meant for young kids, this quality keepsake is better suited as part of your Christmas decorations, something you bring out for the coffee table every year.

The pop-ups are terrific, among the best I've ever seen. But what makes the book complete are all the extras on each page. In fact, when I finished looking through it, I valued the book as much for its history as its art.

Here's why:

The first spread, about Father Christmas and Dicken's "A Christmas Carol," includes a few paragraphs about the history of each fable as well as two tiny six-page booklets. Additional spreads offer similar treatments for The Christmas Witch and pagan Rome, the Advent Calendar, Pere Noël and other French traditions, historic Russian folk tales and the true story of Saint Nicholas, and finally, the American Santa Claus.

All spreads have flaps, too; some have pull outs.

A thick cover, laminated paper stock and half-inch base help keep everything from getting damaged, but there's so much glued and folded paper stuffed in here that you'll still need to treat it all with care.

Purchased this for my brother, and was so impressed with the pop up art and all the detail. There is a lot to this book. It shares the history of Christmas and how it is celebrated in different parts of the world. There are several pull tabs with pictures and written information, and other little surprises throughout the book. Love it, and so did my brother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Armchair Sleigh Ride!
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2007

For those looking for this year's collectible holiday pop-up, many will find it here. The text is informative and sometimes truly surprising. (If you haven't heard the German legend of The Krampus--I hadn't, and my grandparents were German--you're in for a bit of an unexpected shudder and a shock!)

The book is interactive, of course, with plenty of informative flip-back, pull-open, slide-out features. The style of illustration echoes that of the Victorian images that sometimes share space alongside. The photographs and reprints are colorful, sharp, and well-chosen.

Most of the pop ups are delightful: The British images unfurl and swirl up and out miraculously. The French boulevard--with richly stocked shop windows, a picturesque Metro stairway, kiosk, and street lamp--glistens under strands of bright star garlands. A German village and mountaintop castle in the clouds and a giant decorated evergreen, all seen from a distance, invite you in with a festive "Willkomen" sign hung between entrance gates decorated like candy canes. The final pop up is a classic: Santa and his sleigh, silver reins shining, on his way around the world! And the last surprise--a pull-out drawer with a sweet gift tucked inside that will itself hold one more gifty or goody.

A few small disappointments arise along the way: The tip of the top turret of the German castle extends past the page bottom and will be constantly bent and tattered with use and conventional storage; you may want to shelve the book on its ribboned end or upside down. The pull-out drawer contains--I assure you--only one item, instead of the bounty of materials other similar books often contain. (I telephoned to be sure my copy was not missing materials.) And finally, in the last pop up, Santa's dull boozy expression is a major flaw in an otherwise delightful Christmas treasure. (With a tiny bit of correction fluid, a fine point pen, and a steady hand we've already refocused the eyes on our Jolly Old Elf. Looks great!) I hope future reprints might correct these small errors. And please, tuck at least a couple more holiday surprises into the pull-out drawer. Santa would.

Thank you to people who post reviews - Amazon customer reviews are a great Consumer Reports reference! From the reviews, I decided to buy this book, a gift for my pastor. And, wow! It is beautiful. No doubt my pastor will delight in having it on his desk, to lose himself in it for a bit, to share with his employees, and definately will enjoy sharing it with children that visit his rectory. Thank you for the reviews. It IS, in deed, a beautiful book.

This has been a beautiful addition to our Christmas book collection. Lots of details of the origins of Christmas around the world. Beautiful illustrations. Be warned - best for a little older children who can be gentle with some delicate pop-outs, and who have the attention for history & longer stories. A lovely coffee table book over the holidays.

Slightly dissapointed. Pop ups definetly designed for adult to operate, far too complex for children to open and close. Also cheaply made, thin paper pamplets and puckets, could have been better designed/built.

Amazing! Magnificent! Wonderful! Wow! All these adjectives and more describe the pop-up books that I have been lucky enough to open and peruse of Chuck Fischer.
Here, double page by double page we travel from London down to Rome on to the Black Forest back to Paris across to Moscow until the journey finally comes to rest in North America.
Each stop provides a breath-taking pop-up where something new is discovered at every new look. There are tabs to pull, windows to open, flaps to lift, booklets with one or several pages to turn telling of seasonal traditions and beliefs and legends in these foreign lands. And after all that lo! a drawer - slowly pull it open and you find... Shhh! It's a surprise!
Merry Christmas everybody!!

5.0 out of 5 stars クリスマスの時期に飾るのに最適
Reviewed in Japan on June 27, 2013

西欧諸国のクリスマスを紹介したポップアップ本なので、それぞれの絵を構成しているクリスマスの雰囲気は似ている（ポップアップ自体の雰囲気は異なるように作られていますが、クリスマスの雰囲気が似ている）のですが、各ポップアップページの袖の部分を開くと、説明文が書いてあり、それぞれの国のクリスマスを紹介しています。
その説明文の文字の小さいこと！
10cm×5cm程度の場所に250〜400語の文章が詰め込まれています。
本の雰囲気にあった字体で記されているので、クリスマスの雰囲気を壊すことなく一体感のある絵本となっていますが、大人向けの絵本であることは確かです。
クリスマスの時期に毎日異なるページを開いて飾るにも素敵な絵本です。

本の厚さが4.5cm強あり、届いたときにびっくりしました。
1センチ分は最後尾についているお楽しみボックスの厚さで、ここにはサンタの乗ったクリスマススレーをかたどった折りたたみ式のプレゼントボックスが入っています。
私の受け取った本には最初に開いたポップアップ部分に[Chuck Fischer 2010]という文字がいかにもマジックで書いた作者のサインぽい感じで書かれています。
Amazonが66％オフの1,052円にしているのを見つけて購入しました。
