The illustrations and pop-up effects are magnificent, but the text adapting the original story is much too wordy, a dull skim through all the nonsense of the tale with none of the charm. I remember that my 4-year-old got tired of looking at the pop-ups long before the words ran out, as did I.

Still, it's a great toy to play with for a bit. (

A remarkable work of art and engineering. Gasps of surprise and joy abound as each new image breaks free.

This is not a compete edition but a remarkable taster, comprising one amazing and complete pop-up, the one with the pack of cards, and 3 more in a mini booklet. It must have been used to market the real thing. (

Alice is sitting under a tree with her sister, bored. She follows a white rabbit down a hole and ends up in Wonderland. She has a series of adventures with growing, shrinking, strange creatures, and a crazy queen. She finally wakes up and realizes it was all a dream.

Epigraph

Dedication

For my sister, Wendy, who fell down a hole too, but had the strength and courage to find her way back out again.

First words

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

Book description

Building on his reputation as one of the most innovative paper-engineers working in children's books, Robert Sabuda dazzles us with his reworking of Alice in Wonderland. The book consists of 7 spreads with breathtaking super-size pop-ups and additional pop-ups contained within mini story books. Special effects include printed foil, acetate pull-tab scenes and on the first spread a peep show of Alice falling into Wonderland. [Amazon.co.uk]
