Summary: Sabuda Does It Again
Comment: Robert Sabuda is a master of the pop-up book and this is the second one I purchased of an adaptation of a famous children's story, and once again it does not dissapoint.

A good telling of the story combined with some incredible pop-ups, the one of the Emerald City makes you feel like you are in the story.

If you are a collector or have children you must get at least one of these books. Make sure you read it with the younger ones to show how books should be handled properly, though make sure they really understand before letting them use the book on their own.

Summary: Wonderful Wizard is Wonderful
Comment: I bought this book as a birthday present for my Dorothy-obsessed 3-year old and she LOVES it. I was a little worried that it would be seriously abridged when I read that it only had 16 pages, but no need to fear. Within each page is a chapter of the book so there is plenty of story. It takes almost an hour to read it to her but it is well-worth it.

Summary: how can this be under fifty bucks?
Comment: I was shown this book by a friend who collects pop up books. The more elaborate, expensive, and creative, the more he loves them and the more he pays for them. When I saw this in his collection he lead me to believe that the book would cost no less than two hundred... easy. When I found it here I assumed that it couldn't possibly be the same book so imagine my thrill when it arrived. Not only is it the same book, its less than twenty bucks! I've enjoyed the taunting of course, but even more I've enjoyed the craftsmanship and beauty that is this book. How it can be made and sold for this price is beyond my comprehension but I'm glad it is. I've bought copies for everyone I know who would love it as much as I do.
If you love pop ups, or the Wizard of Oz this book is a must have. If you don't love either but you love a cleaver, beautiful work of art, this book is a must have.
You will not regret ever having this in your collection.

Summary: Captivating book
Comment: I ordered this book for my 8 year old niece. She really likes it, especially the tornado page at the beginning. She is just discovering the world of books and is always thrilled when she can actually keep one versus having to return it to the library!

Summary: Charming
Comment: This book was recommended by a friend who has it and reads it to her granddaughter. I bought it to give as a gift to my granddaughter, but was so thrilled at the charming and spectacular content, I have kept it for myself. The pop ups have such amazing color and are on heavy enough paper that it should last a long time. I have been a great fan of all the Oz books (which I Have, some printed in the early 1900's) and believe this will be a great addition to my collection.
Sincerely, Lise Jones
