About the book: The Nativity is brought to life by master pop-up artist Robert Sabuda in six gorgeously imagined 3-D scenes, making this a Christmas gift book to treasure. Long ago, in a stable in Bethlehem, a baby was born on a bright and starry night. This child was the Son of God and he would be the saviour of all mankind. The wondrous story of the birth of Jesus - born in a stable, laid in a manger, visited by shepherds and the three wise men - is exquisitely imagined by pop-up artist Robert Sabuda in six scenes. Glinting with touches of gold and pearlescent foil, The Christmas Story is a visual delight and a book for whole family to treasure at Christmas.

I'm sure pop-up books have value as children's books because they are works of art.
ReplyDeleteI had various pop-up books when I was little, including "The Wizard Of Oz" and "Cinderella."
ReplyDeleteI searched out the author's Web site via bing and I liked many things, but the Santa's sleigh pop-up card was probably the most amazing and beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteI had a few pop-up books. I had "The Nativity" mini one," "The Night Before Christmas",too.

I think pop-up books should be in a child's library. There is nothing like turning a page in a book and seeing the scene come to life.

I was surprised that Mr.Sabuda also has wedding invitations and cards,etc.

I had the Gulliver's Travels pop up book, in fact I still have it. Yes, I remember the story.
ReplyDeleteI am fairly certain that I had pop-up books when I was a child, but I can't say that I remember any certain story.
ReplyDeleteI think pop-up books do still have a place in children's literature because the really bring like to the story in a way that ordinary pictures cannot.
ReplyDeletei do not recall having any pop up books as a child, if i did i do not remember it
ReplyDeletei think that pop up books are of definite value because they are beautiful and eye catching to children and something that a parent can share with a child to create great memories
ReplyDeleteI had a book of The Christmas Story that was pop up when I was little.
ReplyDeletePop-up books have a place in children's literature because they are perfect for adults reading with children.

I had one as a child. All I remember is it was about animals and they were what popped up.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think they are worth it. They need to touch and see it in person. thank you for making them.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they so much detail and are done in all white with touches of gold and foil.
ReplyDeleteI think pop-up books will always be popular with kids, in spite of being fragile. Kids love the fun of them!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember a pop up book from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI think Popup books are a great way to bring a story to life. Just like a movie, they can see and imagine about the story. It helps them remember the book more. I also love the beauty of Popup Books, every time you open it you see something different.
ReplyDeleteI love the Popup cards, what a beautiful way to share Christmas with the receiver. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe pop-up houses are extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteI had a desert animal pop up book as a child. I don't really remember too much of the story. I remember I loved it because of the pop up animals.
ReplyDeleteI think pop up books bring the story to life for children.Pop Up books immediately draw children's attention. Children just have to be supervised with them because of their fragility.
ReplyDeleteYes, there was a short little book about a boy riding to the moon on his rocking horse, with his doll and pet kitten. I loved that little pop up book. We also had several disney books, and an amazing Christmas pop up book I loved.
ReplyDeleteSome of my children's favorite books are pop-ups. They are fragile yes, but like many things, worth wearing out.
ReplyDeleteSabuda is an amazingly gifted artist! I'm always a little afraid to touch the books though! :) Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week!
