What is it about pop-up books? No matter how old we get, it's still exciting to turn the page of a book and have some shape literally pop out of the book at us. Matthew Reinhart is the reigning King of the Pop-Ups. He's done things with Dinosaurs, Sharks and Lions, Witches, and Wardrobes that could be called revolutionary. But my all time favorite of his books is Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy. I'm not a Star Wars person, in fact, I've never seen Return of the Jedi or the last movie that came out (which I don't even know the name of), but this book is amazing.
Not only does it pop-up in the regular from the middle way, but there are smaller fold outs that pop up Ewoks and Storm Troopers galore. Of course the fold out light up light sabers at the end of the book are perhaps the coolest pop up feat ever, and the reason that everyone should own this book, whether or not you like Star Wars.
Happy Reading,
Julia
