This "Dream Snow" pop-up advent calendar by the renowned children's book author and illustrator Eric Carle is way too fun to not get the word out. It is available from Chinaberry for $10.99. I already placed an order for shipments to my grandkids. According to the catalog and web site description, "Traditional advent calendars have 25 little doors or flaps to open, with something festive to see inside. This calendar goes even further. As you open it, an amazing scene pops up, complete with Santa, a Christmas tree, and 5 merry packages under the tree! Inside the doors are either ornaments to put on the pop-up tree or gifts to put inside the boxes, allowing children to play more of an interactive role than just peeking inside a flap each day." You'll need to get your order in pronto since December 1, the first day to begin opening the calendar's flaps, is Tuesday of next week.
