20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

By Sam Ita

Book Overview

Following the release of his spectacular Moby Dick: A Pop-Up Book , paper-crafting genius Sam Ita gives Jules Verne's engrossing undersea story an equally unique and amazing presentation. Ita literally takes graphic novels into another dimension with breathtaking designs that pop, flaps that lift, parts that move, and art that astonishes. There's nothing like it out on the market. You won't believe your eyes as you join Captain Nemo on an unforgettable adventure: submarines, sea monsters, and even the lost city of Atlantis (complete with ancient artifacts, temples, and columns) rise from the page as if emerging from the waves. Take a 3-D look inside Jules Verne's visionary submari? sit with the sailors at their lobster-laden tab= pull a lever to move the diving gau= and face a giant squid as its slippery tentacles attack the Nautilus and her crew. Just as he did with his immensely popular Moby Dick , Sam Ita has concocted pure thrilling magic.

Customer Reviews

An Excellant Find! The way a pop up book should be made! My son loves it!

Very interactive old school pop up book. My 4 year old loves this book. He is a little young for me to read it to him but he loves pulling out all the pop ups and exploring. He pretends that he is part of the crew! The way they introduce the Octopus is very cool! The book is written in a comic strip format so good for older kids and adults but the pop outs are amazing and great for my little one who is fascinated with octopuses!
