As a Christian I feel a bit guilty that I didn't cherish C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series. I am simply not a fan of the fantasy genre. (Plus, the analogy flew right over my head. When I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe I had absolutely no idea what it symbolized.) That being said, this is a much more enjoyable version and a great introduction to the series for the younger set (although children and adults of all ages like pop-ups.)

This short introduction to the Chronicles of Naria comes to life in this beautiful pop-up book. Each page gives a short description of one of the adventures to Naria and is complimented by the vibrant colors and realistic pictures of what happens. We learn of the history written over 2000 years in how Naria began and how it will fourish in the years to come.

My fuller review of this book -- which includes a video review/demonstration of this very unusual pop-up book -- appears online at our Web hub: ReadTheSpirit.
The Narnia story with the video review is headlined Must Religious Leaders Be Human? Caspian's Friends Pop Up from Narnia!
Take a look. I'm a lifelong fan of Narnia and really all of the Inklings (Lewis and his writer friends, even the rarely read Charles Williams). And, I'm a lifelong fan of pop-up books ever since ...more

I love Robert Sabuda's work. This book is different from his others in that it is just a pop up plate for each book in the series with a summary, instead of containing the full text of the books (I covet his version of Alice in Wonderland & that one has the whole story). I was a little disappointed by that-my husband bought it for me as a gift thinking it was a full 'Alice' style version of The Lion the Witch & The Wardrobe. However, each of the foldouts in this book is large & intricate (some w...more

Well, on Thursday there was a snowstorm and I sat on my computer that evening and looked around on Amazon and was very tempted to purchase this book for myself. But I thought better of spending money on myself this close to Christmas and I did click "Buy."
The next day I visited a librarian friend who does a lot of reviewing and lecturing but no longer works in a library. She is kind enough to give me her leftover books for my library. Lo and behold, one of the boxes held thi...more

This is an absolutely beautiful pop-up book to go along with the Chronicles of Narnia series. Each page summarizes one of the Narnia stories. The summaries are ok, but the art work is amazing! My kids love to pull this one down and are completely captivated by all of the intricate details os Sabuda's art.

Read this as an adult: HATED IT. HATE the movie as well. Santa giving weapons to children? It was all a dream sequence? OMG I can't tell you how much I detest and abhor this book and the series. I really don't understand the hype.
Gorgeous, detailed pop-ups summarize each of the seven stories in the series. I only allow my kids to look at it with adult supervision. :)
This is an excellent book! The pop ups are brilliant and I can't believe I own it! (I must give my girlfriend credit for finding this one)
I give it the "amazing" rating for the pop-up art - these guys are truly masters of paper engineering!
I love the illustration in this book. It is awesome and i really want to see the Harry Potter one now.

The pages are so amazing and colorful! I love this pop up book!
An -excellent- pop up book!
Wicked cool pop ups! Wow!
just re-read this after about 20 years and loved it all over again. i read them all in a span of 2 weeks or so, and enjoyed the ease and quickness in which i could gobble them up. it wasn't quite so quick back in the day. i definitely saw more christian overtones than i did when i was young, because that just wasn't in my mind at all then. still, fantastic and fun.
This is a fun way to understand and learn about The Chronicles of Narnia and the characters who bring Narnia to life. Although it is made for children, adults too will enjoy the visual suprises this book offers.
It's okay I basically only liked the lion the witch and the wardrobe and prince caspian they sounded more exiting with all 4 of the pevensies
definitely hard to read if you like more intense, longer books. but they are still good. i liked them as a kid.
Amazing pop up book that my 3 year old loved, but the story could've been altered to suit children more.
this is the whole collection of the cronicles by c.s. lewis. it is great. but it took forever to read.
It is so cool! The pop-up pages are amazing and beautiful - so intricate.
Lovely short summary of Narnia. Great pop-up art.
read these in 2nd grade and they were great!!!
This is one of the best pop-uos ever!
Awesome pop up book. Great gift item.
Very cool pop up book!

"With the ability to hold a crayon came the discovery that I was an artist," says pop-up book master Robert Sabuda. "I spent hours, days and weeks drawing, painting, cutting and gluing. My bedroom was a constant whirlwind of pencil shavings, drippy paint brushes and mounds of paper scraps. My mother's pleas of 'When are you going to CLEAN UP this mess?!' went unanswered."
