Product Description
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

A masterpiece lovingly and painstakingly hand-crafted November 15, 2003

This book is a masterpiece and a work of art, as far as I'm concerned. It is also the kind of book I always dreamed of having as a child. Every page has been lovingly and painstakingly hand-crafted to bring all your favorite scenes to life. You'll feel like you're right there in Wonderland! My favorite page is the Rabbit's house with an overgrown Alice bursting out. The house is four dimensional, and you can even look in the windows and see carrot-patterened wallpaper! That's how much attention to detail there is! At the Mad Hatter's tea party, you'll find saucers made with foil, and the rabbit and some other animal characters have a furry texture. There is also a piece that opens up like a telescope, and allows you to peep down the rabbit hole. Every page has so much going on, and since your eyes can only absorb so much, you'll most likely discover something new on your second viewing. For example, the first time I read this book, I didn't notice that one of the white roses turns red, when you open a page. This book has six full page pop ups, and some smaller pop ups in the pages within the page. The price is right, too! I mean, you couldn't find six pop-up greeting cards for the same price. I also like how the illustrations are faithful to the orignal book. The house of cards attacking Alice is amazing. I even have this book spread open on my coffee table so I can display a different page each day, and just marvel at it!
Wonderful! March 31, 2005

My 2 kids are transfixed by this pop-up book. The vibrant colors and imaginative pop-ups are a wonder. We especially like the sequence that shows Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
Be careful buying this for younger kids. My 3-year old was drawn to the pop-ups like a moth to the flame, and he damaged a few of them.
This is a full version of the book - which is wonderful - since the small fold out sections with text also contain miniature pop-ups.
 Well made, good pop-ups, faces aren't so pretty February 6, 2008

 A rather complicated collector's item, kind of saps some of the fun out of Alice. December 22, 2005

This book is a great accomplishment. But...it's for collectors, not for kids, or even, in my opinion, for readers. The pop up book of Alice I fell in love with as a child was so much simpler and so much more fun. The one I grew up with was mostly comprised of inventive pull-tabs: pull the tab and the Cheshire cat disappears, bit by bit, leaving only his smile; pull the tab and the roses change from white to red and back again; pull the tab and Alice grows out of the house; pull the tab and Alice's bird plays croquet; pull the tab and the caterpillar disappears. So much more fun than this encyclopedic collectors item.
Publishers...please put out a thoughtful abridged version that is durable and fun for kids without being so elaborate and expensive. Highlight the best of the poetry and draw the kids in, instead of sapping the fun out of Alice.
This is the MOTHER of all pop-up books EVER! April 12, 2004

I've never written a review of any book before, but am compelled to do so now. (I'm not a very good writer!)I've been collecting pop-ups for a long time, and this is the Pop-Up to End All Pop-Ups!
This book exceeds all my expectations of any Pop-Up. Innovative, top quality, surprise after surprise, includes full story, just superb! I cannot give this book enough stars. If 5 is the highest, I give this book a 15! You will not be dissappointed!
