Great pop up book!

I gave this to a friend of mine's daughter and my friend loved it more than her daughter. It's made so well, and I'm gonna buy some more of these to give out.

Pretty, but could be better

This book by Matthew Reinhart not in collaboration with Robert Sabuda leaves a little (a very little) to be desired. The illustrations are nice, but not as eye-poppingly beautiful as a book about Cinderella could be and the quality of the pop-ups are not as crisp as those in the books in which the Sabuda/Reinhart duo collaborated. There are several pages which do not close properly and the pop-ups needs to be manually adjusted before closing the book or the pop-ups will be squished. I have not found this problem in any book in which Sabuda has a hand. It could be just my copy. I'm just saying....

Art in a book!

There are no words to describe how beautiful and awesome this book is. I was bitten by the pop-up bug when I purchased Robert Sabuda's Alice in Wonderland (Matthew's mentor). This book is equally as beautiful and I love that it is not a "Disney" princess book. The center page has Cinderella after her transformation in full ballroom attire with real ribbon and she stands about 5 or so inches tall out of the middle of the page. In the final pages you can actually watch the prince's hand place the glass slipper on her foot and pull a tab to watch them ride off in to the sunset. This is an amazing book and anyone the least bit interested in this book should not hesitate to puchase it. I guarantee you'll want to collect all of their books after seeing this work of art!

Heirloom Quality Book

This is one special book! The pop-ups are unbelievably beautiful...and so many of them! Handling this book will probably require supervision for the young reader but, with care, should be around to delight and entertain for many years. They didn't skimp on the story just to hi-light the pop-ups, either. It's complete and well told. Sharing this book with a child will make for some quality time spent together.

A beautiful book

This is a beautifully done book. I think I've bought 5 copies already to give out as gifts. For pop-up book lovers, this is a must.
