This is a fun hands on sample book of the forms for creating the structures used to make paper pop up. I would have appreciated an envelope of pieces and a few glue strips, but they do offer the dies for the shapes online.Also the more complicated mechanical aspects are left unexampled - how to join parts that rotate around a center point, how to anchor and assemble with string.

Celebrate the season with this cherry holiday classic. Unfold the flaps to experience the excitement of the city.

A pop-up book to teach the basic elements of pop-ups. The various elements are nicely classified. There is a discussion of how commercial pop-up books are manufactured.

Lots of details about how to make pop-ups.

Another one of my top three favorite pop-up titles to share when visiting classrooms. Kids and adults are blown away by the lovely simplicity of manipulated paper.

This is a both pop up book and a book on how to create pop up design. Carter breaks the world of pop up construction into basic elements with clear explanations and a working model. The best book on pop up construction I've ever read.

ISBN 0439324467 - If ever a book's cover was an accurate preview of what you'll find inside, this is the book. It's not just bright and colorful, it's got a rubbery raincoat and a sparkling sun to add a very unique touch.

Amazing, what can be fit into a mere ten pages! Starting with basic colors (red, yellow, blue), progressing to mixed colors (orange, purple, green) and ending with two pages of various colors, this book is filled with fun things to do - all aimed at teaching your child colors. There are flaps to lift, tabs to pull and some surprising textured items to feel. A touch and feel fence? How unexpected!

The illustrations, by James Diaz and Melanie Gerth, are 99 percent of the book and they are superb. The drawings are basic, perfect since too much detail would distract from the purpose. Learning is good, fun learning is fantastic!
