 alice in pop-up wonderland
J. Otto Seibolds new wacky and wild edition of Alice in Wonderland is perfect for any body of any age who enjoys Lewis Carrolls classic book. But unlike the many other artists who have illustrated this story, Seibold breathes new life into it by giving the art a very modern and kinda 60s art look. You might call it breaking the traditional Tenniel mold. Like many pop-up books there are many tricks and surprises you can find if you take your time to look. In this book, you can actually open the dull book Alice was reading before she went down the rabbit hole, flip Bill the lizard into the air as many times you want,make Alices neck grow taller, read the Queens invitation to the Duchess to play croquet, peep into the crazy cooks oven to find a grumpy little mouse, watch the Chesire cat vanish with only its grin remaining, among other things. My favorite spread out of the whole book is the one of the tea party. I only have one complaint for this book and its because the spread with the caterpillar on it is hard to fold out and see properly. I would set this book out on my coffee table for every one to see and enjoy, it is that well done. But be careful with it around little kids. Although they dont mean to they could rip it because all pop-up books are fragile. Buy this book for any wonderland fan, Im sure they will enjoy it.

Get lost in this Wonderland
The illustrations in this version of the Carroll tale are rich and imaginative, with eye-popping pop ups alongside the original Alice text.This pop-up version is destined to be a classic for its gorgeous designs.

Customer Review #3:
 wonderful and weird.
I was in the childrens book section the other day looking for a gift for a friends little boy. This book caught my eye -- not for him, but for ME. I dont remember the pop-up books of my youth (admittedly, I only had "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Mother Goose") being this spectacular or complex. This book is visually stunning and so viscerally creative. Why only 4 stars? Because honestly, the illustrative style (and the story itself) is kind of creepy and I dont know how appropriate it would be for a small child. But if youre a design geek, this book rocks!
