Not the average pop-up book!

I have bought this book, along with the Christmas at the zoo pop-up for each of my grandchildren.  They love them - these books are more works of art than pop-up books.  They will be collector items for years to come.  Each page has beautiful pictures of animals in costumes and very intrically designed.  You won't be disappointed if you purchase this book.

This is the best, most vivid pop up book I have ever come across. There is an extrodinary amount of detail in each of the 7 lay outs. This book is truely crafted with care. I have bought one for every girl child I know, and I keep one on my book shelf as well. My only complaint is that it isn't long enough.

Of the collection I have begun since studying and making pop-ups, this one is a favorite.  The multimedia approach is very nice.  The pop-up inventions used are a medium complexity.  I have yet to read it.  I enjoy the art of it.

It was a great pop-up book for kids and the adult reader.
Color was fantastic - it really held one's focus.

After reading (well, there is a lot more than just read!) "the wonderful wizard of oz" and "a winter tale" of the same author, I could not resist Cinderella and Alice in wonderland. I haven't yet opened Alice so I won't comment on it, but I know I won't be disappointed.

This is one of the most beautiful pop-up books I have ever seen. It is just magical and so clever in the way things do not just pop-up, but morph into something else (I am sorry, my vocabulary is a bit poor, but I do not want to spoil anybody else's surprise!). Of course, I bought these books for my 6 year old daughter - convenient excuse - but they stay on the living room table where we can pick them up anytime and marvel at the animated pictures. Every one of these books is a real piece of art!

If you're looking for a delightful book to introduce Bible stories to your toddler or young child then the My Pop-Up Bible Stories may be just what you want to go out and buy! My children are mostly too old for this book, but even adults enjoy the value of a good pop-up book and one that instills a love of God's Word is even more of a valued item. These pop-ups will appeal to children as the colors are vibrant and the people look like them, not cartoon-ish but also not overly adult like either. Like all pop-up books care will need to be taken so as the child won't grab and tear the pages and ruin the pop-up effect.

If your child is a little older the Scripture reference is given at the end of each brief re-telling - and by brief the whole book can be read in less than 5 minutes. This allows the parent to read the actual historical event in the Bible of their choice and reiterating what the story was talking about. This would also make a great gift for a grandchild or a welcome baby present that will become a treasured part of nap time or just when baby and parent need a bit of relaxation time to cuddle.

**I was given a copy of this book from Kregel Publications in exchange for my honest review, no other compensation was given.

I wonder how the pig got on top of the sign (cover). Ooh--imagination! But Farmer Johnson needs more than that to round up all of his farm animals. And he needs the children's help. In fact, this book involves the children, for they are to shout out the names of the animals when they figure out what ones they are. Nicely interactive, involving the child in the book itself.

I don't know how the author made some of the clever techniques happen in this book and I'd like to find out. Great use of e-books and Kindle, beyond just reading. Makes the child want to "read it again!" The artwork fits in quite well and doesn't distract from the words but adds to them. I'm looking forward to more of her creations--next one: "The Animal Game: Safari."

A Wonderfully illustrated book with very detailed pop-ups. Great for a child 5 and up. Any child younger than that may not appreciate the details in the book, and not be aware of the need for delicate handling with the pages to keep the pop-ups working properly.

If you're used to books by the master paper engineers like Robert Sabuda, the pop-ups in this book won't wow you. They're above average, but not incredible. But the creativity and variety is very impressive, and overall I think kids would really like this book. What I appreciate is that the book does more than just pop-up. It has letters that "evolve" from E to F, or P to R, etc., in very creative ways. I would give it a 4.5/5 if Amazon allowed that.

Not that I'm big on learning things while reading a pop up, but this book sure packs a lot of information into one tiny book. The pop ups are big and fun, the weather changes page by page and there's information galore that you don't even know you are learning. Young or old, it's still a good read.

Sabuda has done it again with another fabulous animal pop-up book. The smaller side pop-ups really add to the fun learning quality of this book. You never know which old prehistoric creature is coming at you next!

I love pop up books and this is a great way to try out the fun for yourself or the little ones.  I
like that it includes EVERYTHING for a project.  They came blank so I could use it to make a personalized story book for my young granddaughter and then she could use the pens and stickers to make her own.  I am sending another to my grandnieces.  A very nice and interesting gift.

Like volume 1, Carol Barton's newest book on how to create pop-ups is a must-buy for every paper-crazy person, whether or not you think of yourself as an "artist."  Her instructions are easy to follow, and creating pop-ups is a great kid-friendly project.  Loved it!!  I'm still working on my floating platforms, but I can't wait for volume 3!

I had never heard of this title when I picked it up on a whim from our library.  It really blew me away--what a wonderful way to expose young children to art!  The content sets a silly story with silly characters among a backdrop of famous works of art from many different genres.  I think it is a book that will come to mean more to your children as they age and can start to appreciate the "background" art.  I thought it was very clever.

The Zealous Zebecs book provides a fun and unique twist on how to engage readers of different levels. My son who is 11 enjoyed reading the more advanced parts of the story to his younger sister. They had fun looking for the letters together, which even for an 11 year old wasn't always easy! I absolutely love how the focus on each page is on one letter, while teaching young readers through repetition. Having the alphabet go in reverse direction makes even the older more advanced readers have to pause and think about what letter will be next on the following page. The vibrant pictures and adventurous story captures the reader's attention while engaging them in a fun interactive learning experience!

Purchased this pop-up book after seeing it being read at library storytime.  Kids were having fun as they wagged their "tail" and flapped their "wings".

Very cute and colorful illustrations.  My son's favorite is the owl winking its eye.  And my son is sooo cute and adorable as he tries to wink his eye.  Entertaining read for both me and my son.  Highly recommend this book.

I bought mine new, but after a few months, it's now taped and worn in several places, after reading and tab pulling for the nth time.  This is a pop-up book.  Try to find one that's new or one that you can examine physically before buying, if you're picky.

I bought this book for my new granddaughter and was so pleased with it!  The book is beautifully illustrated.  It's fun to see what each turn of the page will unfold into a new and unique pop-up.
