J. Otto's Alice in Wonderland is a magnificent rendering of the classic Lewis Carroll tale, brought into our reality as a fully featured pop-up paradise.

This was such a fun book! Great for Alice fans! *While it does include text from the original, it does not tell the story of Alice, but rather snippets and highlights

[Steff Daza · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not the whole book, but rather the pop up art version of it

[Mehta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully done pop-up book, with amazing details. The moving parts, lift-the-flaps, and other elements were incredibly well thought out and spread quite well throughout the book. You could probably read this 20 times and notice something new every time. Many of the pop-ups are interesting from every side. The text, just bits from the actual book, is not very easy to follow, but who really cares with so much else going on?

you can find plenty of alice pop-up books
around but this one by far is the most
whimsical and fantastic of them all.
it's his own take on the visual
style of the story but he captures
the spirit of the story whole-heartedly.

This is my second favorite pop up addition of "Alice in Wonderland." In some ways it is more inventive than Sabuda's version. For sure a whimsical and fun retelling.
