Item Description
Wizard of Oz
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, master paper engineer Robert Sabuda has created a pop-up book that's as magical as the classic, itself. From a twisting cyclone that spins up on the opening spread to the elaborate, glittering 3-D model of the Emerald City (which comes complete with a pair of green tinted glasses for the reader) to Dorothy's silver shoes that click together to take her home to Aunt Em, this remarkable book is filled with an array of special effects. Told in a shorter version of L. Frank Baum's original text, with artwork that's faithful to W. W. Denslow's original illustrations, this phenomenal edition will be treasured by readers of all ages.
Item Special Note
Alice in Wonderland
Pop-up guru Robert Sabuda performs his paper engineering magic again with this stunning adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale.
With large and small textured pop-ups -- some of the animals are actually furry -- that will dazzle you with their intricacy and inventiveness, Sabuda's rendition tells the familiar tale of Alice as she falls down the rabbit hole and makes her way through Wonderland. The book features artwork based on John Tenniel's time-honored illustrations and text that follows the original story, and each spread includes several smaller pop-ups in "subpages," along with larger pop-ups taking center stage. Some of the amazing must-sees are Alice's initial fall down to Wonderland (with an accordion-like feature labelled "Open me" to pull up and peek into); the Mad Hatter's tea party, with silvery dishware that includes a fuzzy dormouse; and the croquet match that opens wide. But it's the final final spread of Alice and a flurrying pack of cards (all 52 cards are there) that is sure to put you over the blissful edge.
