I love pop-up books. There's nothing like material that springs to life as you turn each page. Fairy tales are brilliant told in pop-up form, but ABC3D turns the pop-up treatment on the alphabet. Each letter springs up, slides out, or flexes itself across the page. O become Q, you can thrum the delicate ribs of the U, or peek through the skeleton of the Z. This book is a little fragile to hand off to a child unsupervised, but the most extravagant pop-ups are all that way. It's a gorgeous, delightful way to work through the ABCs, if you're in need of such a guide, or a nice way to admire some innovations in pop-up art. This is a really cool Alphabet pop-up book! The cover is one of those optical plates (sort of holographic), where what you see changes depending on your angle of approach. [Kids of all ages love this type of stuff]The pop-ups too are pretty clever, and are not restricted to one every two pages. "C" becomes "D" , for example, when the C flops over and a previously hidden vertical bar becomes the upright part of the "D". Similarly, pulling the page taunt, turns E into an F. And O and P have a special transparency page with two slanty-bars that remake them into Q and R.The colors in the book are restricted to white, black and red. Perhaps for thematic reasons, perhaps for reasons related to manufacturing. But I think that most kids will be charmed by the book regardless. Certainly my two children gave the book two thumbs up. [They are currently 6 and 8 years old.]As with all pop-up books, I would suggest that "ABC3D" be used with parental help. Toddlers and Preschoolers and even Kindergartners can be really rough on paper.It would make a nice gift. I am donating this particular book to a kindergarten teacher at their school.
Do You like book Abc 3 D (2008)?
Pretty cool pop up book. No words just the letters of the alphabet in very creative ways.

Stunning enough I'd recommend it for adults. Too bad my toddler would destroy it.
