The Best Pop-Up Book Ever - I'm Not Kidding!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Over the years, I've bought many pop-up books for my 5-year-old. This one is, without doubt, the most entertaining pop-up book I've seen. Many pop-up books suffer from pointless, non-interactive, or non-functioning pop-up animations. Not this one!You get, in order, 1) A slide mechanism with a dog pulling covers off a firefighter,2) Another slide mechanism with a firefighter sliding down a firepole,3) A side view of a fire truck, with flaps showing the inside,4) More flaps, showing the operation of a fire hydrant, and also acting as a simple animation for the firefighters,5) Yet another flap, with a firefighter donning a breathing mask,6) An extremely cool 2-page full pop-up, showing a house engulfed in flames, complete with a fire truck, firefighters climbing a ladder, and other firefighters shooting water in the front door,7) A slide mechanism showing a firefighter cutting a hole in the floor with an axe,8) A flap showing a fire being put out with a water hose, and9) A fold-out pop-up showing the fire engine pulling out of the station for the next call.As that run-down shows, you get a lot of interaction AND a lot of learning going on with this book. Very highly recommended.
