Customer Reviews

magical and completely amazing
this is the mother of all pop up books. Stunning illustrations and incredibly well thought out and crafted. A fantastic gift for any child with scenes that just seem to explode from nowhere. It's not just fantastic scenery but the full story is there too. A totally magical book that will repay countless viewings.

The Master of all Pop-Up Books!
From a paper-engineering point of you, this book is absolutely amazing! The book is so very inspiring if you are looking to create your own pop-ups because it really showcases what can be done when you start thinking creatively. I was astounded the first time I saw it - it was the first Robert Sabuda book I purchased and I've been a fan ever since! I simply can't fault this pop-up book and I think it is guaranteed to have both children and adults in awe!

Although the book only has 12 pages, you get your money's worth because there are lots of smaller pop-ups on each page. The story is presented well and the pop-ups are very well-designed. The illustrations and colours used have a very vintage-feel; they are not modern but they are in-keeping with the story. One of my pet-peeves when it comes to pop-up books has to be poorly constructed mechanisms and dysfunctional pop-ups - I am pleased to say there is no such problem here! This is a brilliant pop-up book and it would make a lovely gift!

Amazing - something to treasure forever
I bought this for my neice and before I wrapped it felt compelled to show it to all visitors to my house. The book far exceeded my expectations and is an amazing piece of paper engineering with the story told in mini booklets with their own mini pop-up surprises. Truly a book to treasure and pass on.
