The ultimate how-to/interactive book. To "read" it properly, you have to take it apart. I haven't yet, but the idea of it, the potential, said I had to give it a 5. Dragons and castles and robots. . . wow.

if you or someone you know wants to know the core mechanics behind popups, this is a must have.

This book, where you get to make your own pop up, is good in theory but not for a library (where I read it). It's also a lot more complicated than it seems like it would be.
