My books from Powell's finally came! Squeeeeee!
Before I get down to the business of eating the new Anne Carson book, Nox, with some salt & a garnish of pesto, I thought I'd take a minute to write about this book, which I got for my daughter. Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda are pretty much THE pop-up masters these days, and probably the best pop-up authors ever.
I feel like my head is officially coming to a point saying this, but it's true.

The most beautiful pop-ups I have ever seen! Really breathtaking. I can't wait to get more of these.
While the pop-ups can be appreciated by people of all ages, the text is more appropriate for older kids and adults. I just read this to my second grader, and found myself stopping to explain after almost every sentence. Fortunately, the subject matter was interesting enough to keep her engaged. Even my five-year-old was able to sit through it. The book is filled with interesting myths a...more

I love Sabuda's pop up books and this is the first one I've taken home for my daughter. This was a huge hit as a Christmas present.
There is a lot of detailed information in here about the fey and all different manner of fairy folk from different cultures - great to see the nasty side dealt with as well as the cuter side!
This book is a great present for those interested in fairies and magical creatures as well as folktales. If you haven't yet got a Sabuda pop up, head out and find one - Alic...more

London is learning all about the little folk and how real non-concrete can be. These books are fragile, but fascinating to our own little folk. They realize that the books are special and not the same as a 'regular' book. They are like an old house -- full of surprises.
Myths and fairy tales from all over the world are briefly explained and three-dimensionally illustrated in brilliantly colored, fabuously sophisticated pop-ups.
This was a gift for my birthday from my sister. So I would recommend it as a gift. It was brilliant. It's a pop-up book encyclopedia with different fairy lore. It's divided into different sections such as "Fairy World", "Orgin",and "Secret Forces of Nature". Each page has a pop-up feature with side pop-ups that give information on that category of fairy. It gives a fun spin on research that I currently doing on the Green Man and other Irish Fairies. A great gift for...more
Sabuda gets brownie points for including at least 3-5 mini pop-ups with each feature pop-up. The big dryad is the best pop-up, hands down.
Pop-ups=awesome
