Inspired by the classic Christmas carol, Joy to the World features a sound chip and light that play when the book is opened. Joy to the World celebrates the birth of Jesus and introduces little ones to his universal message of loving, giving, and caring. This interactive book features a glow light and an instrumental rendition of the carol, which makes it easy for you and your child to sing along. Simply open the cover to hear the joyous sounds and take part in the deeper gifts that Christmas brings. Ages 2-6.
The text is fun and creative (it doesn't follow the traditional song lyrics, except on the last page), and communicates both what is significant and what is fun about the Christmas season: gladness, gratitude, peace, service, love, gifts, and rejoicing about the birth of Christ. My daughter loves that the book lights up and plays "Joy to the World" when she opens the cover. I love that this is a board book, that you can turn the music and lights off if you'd like, and that you can get free replacement batteries (plus $4 for shipping) from the publisher. A great book for toddlers.
