by Joan Irvine, Linda Hendry (Illustrator)

Everyone likes pop-ups — and they love super pop-ups! These dynamic designs take the charming element of surprise a step farther, with patterns that slide, turn, spring, and snap. More than 30 projects include a dragon that turns into a bird, an albatross, a robot, a catcher's mask, skyscrapers, a castle, and other enchanting models.The easy-to-follow directions explain how to transform greeting cards, school assignments, and birthday gifts from two dimensions to three with just a little glue and tape. More than 475 illustrations appear with simple instructions for double cutting, attaching bases and sliding strips, and other practical methods. Great for kids ages 8 and up, these techniques can also be used to create more sophisticated patterns, including stage props and centerpieces. Children, parents, teachers, and paper crafters of all ages will adore this treasury of imaginative and fun-filled projects.

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very thorough sort of advanced intro to pop-up construction, although it has a nice section in the back of the book covering the basics, so newbies will not be lost or unable to complete some of the assignments.
