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.

when i was young, i loved this book. I loved being able to imagine everything that was happening and transport myself there ( )

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. ( )
