Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-Up Adaptation
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

Anyone who loves Alice's Adventures in Wonderland should have a copy of this amazing pop-up edition. Robert Sabuda does fantastic things with paper and with everything literally leaping up at you from each page, you get a feeling of surprise and delight much the same as the feeling you probably got when you encountered Wonderland for the first (and second, and third....) time. It's also a good introduction to the full-length novel and lends itself nicely to reading aloud because there is such a ...more
We're basing six weeks of story times for pre-school age children on the well-known classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. We used this clever pop-up version of the story to quickly review the story with the little ones.
Then we talked about creating our own “Winter Wonderland” by creating crazy snow.
Song #1: substitute “snow” for the word “rain”
Rain is falling* all around,
On the housetops, on the ground.
Rain is falling on my nose,
On my head and hands...more

I've been waiting 7 years to get this book, and my lovely wife finally obliged me with it this Christmas.
Sabuda's pop-up illustrations seem to demand a more descriptive term than 'pop-up,' as their intricacy is utterly mind-boggling. The pages are packed with single oversized standup illustrations, and the (heavily-abridged) text is in smaller sub-books attached to each page, which in turn have smaller pop-ups within them. It's astonishing to look at, and still a pleasure to read: the text ...more

I've had this book for 8 years, and it's one of my absolute favourites. It's very special to me for a number of reasons, but what truly makes this edition stand out is the interaction between the pop-up adapted illustrations and the story itself.

I have mixed feelings about this one. It is a spectacular, brilliant pop-up book. For that reason, I just love it! It took some time getting used to the colorized, stylized renderings of Sir John Tenniel's illustrations, but I ended up liking them, generally. My one reservation is that the story is abridged--no surprise, given that a pop-up of the entire tale would cost an outrageous amount of time and money. But... I just got a thing about abridging stuff, ya know? I need the full story.
I love the pop-ups in this book, as well as the smaller sections on each page that allow for both more art and more of the story to be included. I especially like that the art on the pop-up effects continues on the sections which are not facing the front. The work is very detailed and kind of amazing.
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. "

One of the most gorgeous pop up books ever!--My boyfriend gave it to me for my birthday and I devoured it so fast! I keep looking at it over and over because I cannot believe the intricate and beautiful details! It is all the more wonderful as the illustrations are based on the originals. Loved it!

A wonderful pop-up book with excerpts from the book. There are many surprises to uncover in this one, but I wouldn't recommend it for teeny tiny children...they might hurt the delicate pages.
This is a great book. The pictures are very detailed and it is a pop-up book. This might not be the best book to have in your class because it could get easily messed up.
I bought this pop-up book for my daughter, but I think I look at it more than her. It is absolutely beautiful! If you can find it, I suggest buying it a.s.a.p.
I love Robert Sabuda's books! He takes a classic tale, such as this one, and makes it fun to read by having the pictures pop-up!

Robert Sabuda is amazing with his pop-ups! I went to an exhibit and saw some of his work and they are remarkable!
This is hands-down the most incredible pop-up book I've ever seen. It made me realize that pop-up can be an art form.
Probably the best pop-up book I've ever played with. I love that it is on my shelf, Emerald Lenses and all!
Great pop ups, beautiful scenes! Even a fully three-dimensional house and table pop up, it's amazing.

"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."
