Pop-Up London Hardcover – April 10, 2012

'Pop-Up London' is an absolute joy to read, and engages the senses, being both enjoyable to look at with its beautiful graphics and pop-up constructions, and wonderful to page through and touch, making this a truly interactive experience. The book is full-sized, not quite coffee-table sized, but still large enough to enjoy in a purely tactile way, and to display for friends, family, and acquaintances, being a virtual tour of the 'highlights' of the city of London's most famous tourist attractions. For those who have visited London, it is a wonderful, quirky reminiscence, and awakens a yearning to return. For those who have always wanted to visit, it ignites the imagination and confirms their wonderlust. Highly recommended, and hope that there are more 'Pop-Up' city titles to explore.

While browsing through a bookstore (some still do exist), I ran across this wonderful book. When I teach "Romeo and Juliet", I bring in DK travel guides and other visually rich books to give my students a sense of the time and place when Shakespeare wrote. I saw "Pop-Up London" as a great resource for kids to get more interested in conveying this background information. Upon receiving "Pop-Up London" the other day, I was even more surprised at how well done this book actually is, not only on an artistic level (the pop-ups are visually stunning), but on an intellectual level as well. If one looks on the back of the pop-ups, there are inside views, descriptions of the buildings, interesting factoids. Other trivia and flaps also abound among the pages, so the Reader does feel like a tourist exploring, roaming, discovering this great city. Can't wait to share this book with my class! I know it will be a hit, and generate further inquiry for them.

My toddler grandson loves this book. He received it after a visit to England.

Stunning! It is one of the best pop up books I have gotten. There is so much attention to detail, so many cool facts and interesting stories, and it has drawings on the back of the pop ups as well.

This is one of the most magnificent books I've seen! The paper engineering is phenomenal and it has so much information! Our 2-year-old clock-lover loves this book and so do his parents! It's packed with information about all the major sights in London: Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster, Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing, London Eye, Albert Hall, St. Pauls, Tower Bridge... the list goes on. The Tower Bridge is particularly impressive; you can lift up the drawbridge and sail a boat right between the pieces.

Our entire family loves the Pop-Up London book! We vacationed their last year, so our kids were thrilled to have a such a cool book to remind them of all the wonderful places we visited. It's loaded with interesting facts throughout the book, making it both educational and entertaining.

This pop-up turned out to be the perfect gift for a graduating student who spent a month studying in London with me the previous summer.

I purchased this book for my 5-year-old grandson as a companion to the Big Ben nanoblock set also from Amazon. The book is well made, with great pop-ups that are double-sided. The information is interesting. My only objection is that not all information is factual. The book illustrates and describes several legends of ghosts, including one in which the beheaded victim carries around the missing head. Gruesome! It was difficult to persuade my grandson that the ghost stories weren't true since all other information was obviously based on facts, which is why I chose 4 stars instead of 5.

Bought has gift not sure they will get it, it's wonderful

super schön und animiert zum Entdecken. Erklärende Texte könnten etwas ausführlicher sein und eine deutsche Version wäre cool

Brought this for my 7 year old niece. She loves it so much to look at and the pop up buildings are brilliant. There are hidden gems everywhere in the book and the whole family loved this book.

Buena calidad, súper llamativo para pequeños y mayores y con mucha información muy interesante. Perfecto para profesores de inglés.

Bello, ben fatto e divertente! E non è solo pop-up: alcuni particolari del libro sono anche mobili.
