Just finished reading "The Brambly Hedge Pop-Up Book" by Jill Barklem, published by Harper Collins.
Now fans of pop-up books are going to probably be more than a bit disappointed with "The Brambly Hedge Pop-Up Book" because it's not a true pop-up book in the traditional sense of the word.
When I was a very young boy, I had pop-up books that would transform into spectacular vistas, scenery, castles, dragons, and other fantastical places and creatures that rose up and out from the page once you had turned it.
Not here. It's more of a modern take on the pop-up concept, meaning you get a boxy page with an attempt at making the scene appear three-dimensional with depth and raised up images. Not the same thing as yesteryear, but what ever is? Traditional pop-up book are a lost and expensive art.
Created by artist Jill Barklem, and told through the diary of Mrs. Apple, the lives of the Brambly Hedge Mice are seen and put on display for everyone to take part in. A rather delightful stroll.
Highly Recommended!
Five Stars!
