This Book Is a Planetarium: And Other Extraordinary Pop-Up Contraptions

I got this for my husband as an extra Christmas present- it was a close call between this and the pop up Handron Collider book! However I think I made the right choice. There is a good variety of things here, amd the book is extremely well made, I particularly found the spirograph great, as Id always wanted one as a child, but never got one! I’d recommend this for anyone from 10 years upwards who has an interest in science or engineering etc. Some of the pop ups will hold your interest for less time than others, but thise that go down well will surely be used many times. Even if just the built in paper speaker/amplifier for a mobile phone :)

After receiving this last Christmas, my son has finally decided to use it. He is very much enjoying the planetarium, as he is interested in the stars. Other areas of the book are also holding his interest as well though - we all now know exactly what day our birthdays will be on for years to come, and are getting used to the strumming of the musical instrument.This book is well thought out and a good quality product, not to mention something a little different.

Bought this for our unit in D&T. The book is absolutely amazing and I’m blown away by the quality. You can either read it or play with it. Very good to use it at school if you’re a teacher like me.

Bought for a giftEducational but funGreat book

A Very clever book but expensive for what is effectively 5 full pages.
