A Pop-Up Book
Even the simplest pop-up books are fun, but when done by an artist like Sam Ita they bring smiles to readers of all ages. He's produced several adaptations of classic texts like
Frankenstein,
Moby Dick and
20,000 Leagues under the Sea.
Pop-ups, hidden flaps, and pull-tabs provide a sense of discovery, and engage the reader in a way that's almost magical. Often it's necessary to go through the books more than once to uncover all their secrets. (Somehow I kept bypassing the Trojan horse.)
Here's a look at the more spectacular pages in Sam's version of
The Odyssey. What fun!
