The book was bought for my daughter who is 21 months old. She loves all the DK My First Board Books, so when I saw the Christmas book it only made sense to purchase it for her. We gave it to her before Christmas, sense she is so young she really didn't get the idea behind Christmas or what it is all about till this year. The book gave her pictures to look at as we helped her name what the things were in the book, she quickly picked up on Santa, Christmas Trees, Angels, and Baby Jesus. She still gets the book out and wants to go through it, naming the pictures. There is also a counting part in the back of the book. I love all DK My First Board Books, they help teach children through pictures making it easy to learn for your child. I would recommend this book to anyone with a young child, especially to get them familiar with Christmas time!
