This book is much like the original story, but the illustration is amazing. I love pop up books and this one is top-notch. The pop ups are great and it's very interactive. Children would love this type of book.

I really liked the pop up aspect of this book. It was probably my favorite part of the book in combination with the illustrations. There wasn't much to the story and it was kind of hard to focus on the words because of the pop up. I think this story is more for entertainment than learning.

This version of The Princess and the Pean does a great job of making it fun and interactive. This it good for kids who can't always sit still. For reading in a classroom setting, you could switch off who gets to move the pop-up book pieces.
