Summary: More perfect eye-popping pop-ups from Robert Sabuda.
Review: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was a tough act to follow yet Robert Sabuda has succeeded beautifully with Alice in Wonderland. The pop-ups are even more spectacular and, as though this weren't enough, Sabuda introduces a gorgeous range of textures, from the iridescent sheen of glass and metalware in the Duchess's kitchen, to the velvety soft touch of the March Hare, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, and other furry animals that inhabit the story. A must-have!

Summary: AMAZING!!!
Review: There is a REASON that reviewers of Robert Sabuda's "Alice in Wonderland" are AMAZED. This is NOT just another "pop-up book." THIS is a WORK OF ART!! Robert Sabuda's work is MAGICAL as you literally peer down the rabbit hole. Another page shows Alice in the house; Alice at the tea party; the Cheshire Cat; the deck of cards.... This book can be great to show young babies as it will spark their curiosity, but you have to just have them look at it and keep it out of reach as young toddlers would probably rip the art work. If you know a young boy or girl (ages 4 and up) or a young teenager or anyone who appreciates illustrative art - this is the book to buy. My mother bought this book for me plus one for her good friend and we both loved it! Robert Sabuda's "Wizard of OZ" was great....this might be even better!

Summary: A masterpiece lovingly and painstakingly hand-crafted
Review: This book is a masterpiece and a work of art, as far as I'm concerned. It is also the kind of book I always dreamed of having as a child. Every page has been lovingly and painstakingly hand-crafted to bring all your favorite scenes to life. You'll feel like you're right there in Wonderland! My favorite page is the Rabbit's house with an overgrown Alice bursting out. The house is four dimensional, and you can even look in the windows and see carrot-patterened wallpaper! That's how much attention to detail there is! At the Mad Hatter's tea party, you'll find saucers made with foil, and the rabbit and some other animal characters have a furry texture. There is also a piece that opens up like a telescope, and allows you to peep down the rabbit hole. Every page has so much going on, and since your eyes can only absorb so much, you'll most likely discover something new on your second viewing. For example, the first time I read this book, I didn't notice that one of the white roses turns red, when you open a page. This book has six full page pop ups, and some smaller pop ups in the pages within the page. The price is right, too! I mean, you couldn't find six pop-up greeting cards for the same price. I also like how the illustrations are faithful to the orignal book. The house of cards attacking Alice is amazing. I even have this book spread open on my coffee table so I can display a different page each day, and just marvel at it!

Summary: such a neat pop-up!
Review: This pop-up book is entertaining! It has all the little things that make this pop-up a great pop-up and not just an OK one. From little invitations to open, your own spot at the tea party, to a large ugly duchess herself! Great addition to any collection of all things Alice!

Summary: Exquisitely Designed, Beautiful Display of Literary Classic
Review: What a surprise! I hardly would think I would be impressed by a pop-up book. The "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation" is not the usual variety, and the original Lewis Carroll tale is not the ordinary book. It is superb in every way. It pops up like any pop-up book, but this is where the similarity ends. The pop-ups have their own pop-ups or other devices. They up into minibooks, things swing and sway. There are textures and styles not found in regular children's books. The art is sophisticated and classic, reminiscent of the version you read as a child. It is a grade school rendition of the famous story, but don't be fooled. Adults will love this book too. As far as the text is concerned, the story has been abridged to meet the needs of the format, but enough is there to please anyone new to the plot. This is where the grade school rating is justified, since younger readers may be fascinated by the images and general storyline, but still may not be old enough to read the multiweave fantasy by Carroll. It is unfortunate that a book with a physical espect to it will wear out, unlike the average book. The very things which stand out as strengths will diminish over time, and the children who love this book might not be as delicate with it as you would like. To that end, I say buy it anyway. It is a beautiful display of a literary classic from which many dreams will be born. I fully recommend Robert Sabuda's take on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation," and hope you take a few minutes to buy the complete, unabridged "Alice." Anthony Trendl
