Peter Pan: Peter Pan (A Classic Collectible Pop-up) Novelty Book – Pop up, November 4, 2008

The story came to life with those creative, amazing illustrations. This has always been my favorite story, but this book has reached the top of my reading list. Love everything about it!

The media could not be loaded. After collecting 16 of Sabuda's and Reinhart's pop-up books it is fun to compare them in both the illustration styles and the pop-up engineering! Each pop-up 2 page spread is a treat to examine and I ask myself "How did they do that?"The 2 page mermaid spread with Peter and 3 pretty mermaids reclining on a rock, with each mermaid in a playful pose is an example of the "How'd they do that?!" reaction! The pop-up movement of the characters with peter's feet crossing and the mermaid's bodies bobbing up and down on the rock when spreading and closing the pages slightly is both charming and magical!! I also like the attention to detail like the shiny silver scales on the fishtails! And the books have interesting views of the settings of the stories, like the aerial view of London with the pop-up clouds resembling, Captain Hook, the mermaids, Mr Smee and Tiger lily with Peter Pan flying near the moon with a silowette of Peter on it! And the mini pop-ups can be as intriguing as the large ones! Open a mini page one and the Darling children rise up in a totem pole pattern with Pan at the top as they start to fly! The Sabuda illustrations here remind me of the inspirational sketch art made by the illustraters for the preparation art from the making of Walt Disney's PETER PAN in the 1950s. At first I thought there might be something wrong with the pirate ship at the end of the book because the top deck did not lie down but stuck upward at an angle, but I realised that it's supposed to work like that! So I alway's press down on the front edge of the deck to make it line up with the front of the ship! My favorite pop-up boats in Sabuda's and Reinhart's books are the Argonaut's ship in GODS AND HEROES and the ship attacked by a Kraken in DRAGONS AND MONSTERS! These books are incredible! Both the adaptation text and the inventive pop-up design are well put together! While the fantasy images will appeal to kids the complexity of these pop-ups makes it better to recommend these books for adult collecters then to put them in little kids hands! Another winner for pop-up art!! I 've just uploaded a new PETER PAN POP-UP review video to give a better idea of this book's quality! I got the pop-ups to fit in for the most part! Hope you find it helpful! Amazon should increase the resolution of their video uploader! YouTube's uploader is significantly sharper with more detail then amazon's uploader!

Peter Pan pop up book, is absolutely beautiful!!

This was for my granddaughter Wendy/ she loved it.

This is a marvelous book, we already have the Little Mermaid one and my kiddos just love it. There are so many pop ups and beautiful design features it is fascinating to look at. Not really suitable for toddlers (unless supervised) as they are heavy handed and the book is a fragile piece of art. But seriously, this is a book that will hopefully be kept in our family library and passed down through generations.

It’s a come to life book every page explodes with wonderful come to life magic. When my nephew was 4 we would go to library & enjoy the one there he was so happy 😃 when he opened gift & started reading to his 93 abuelita & sharing with her all details.

How I wanted to keep this book, but I sent it along to a little 6 year-old grandson of a dear friend. After all, what could be better? A fantastic adventure story with tons of fantasy AND a work of art....all rolled into one! The workmanship on the popups is MOMA worthy, although I must say that the facial expressions leaved a tad to be desired. This was the same as in Mr. Sabuda's book, "Alice in Wonderland." That being said, I can't imagine a child or ANYONE not wanting to have this in their lives to read, enjoy and pass along to family members.

These pop up books are so elaborate that little children need help closing the page correctly as not to mess up that page. I don't mean that in a bad way. Robert Sabuda has the most beautiful books and you are stricken when you see how complex his artwork is. It attracts children to the books (which is a wonderful thing) and includes their parents or other adults to read with them. (another plus) I have purchased many of his books and they are just amazing, wonderful and keepsakes. They make lovely gifts for both girls and boys and I don't think you can go wrong with them. My nephew loves pirates and the pop ups in this book delighted him and introduced him to an old classic. In this age I think it's important to keep the love of books alive and this is one way to introduce that to children.

The media could not be loaded. This book is so Fantastical in its construction, it is awe inspiring. This is a self indulgent purchase, just to witness the craftsmanship.there are 5 main spreads, with mini pages and more pop-ups on each page. Highly recommended, although I'd say it's more of a look, don't touch for the younger audiences.

Meraviglioso libro pop-up, trai preferiti dell’autore. Mio figlio lo adora.Consegna perfetta come da standard Amazon.

This book is pricey, but worth the money if you want an heirloom quality book that your loved ones will cherish. The pop ups are absolutely brilliantly engineered and every page elicits a WOW! I am over the moon pleased with the product.

Alles super 👍

muy hermoso y llego en excelente estado.
