Beautifuly crafted pop ups

I bought this book for my nephew, and I almost kept it for myself.The illustrations are very clear, and well thought out. The pop up dynamics are just precious. This should not be a book that would get rough-housed around. Some of the pop ups are quite delicate.My nephew is 4 and enjoyed it immensely.

a charming introduction to opposites

"Black cat, white cat. Day cat, night cat .... "Chuck Murphy has done it again, giving children and parents a little work of art disguised as a pop-up book.Three manipulatives are fold-out, four are operated by tabs, and three automatically pop up with the turning of a page in this fun and creative introduction to opposites, each concept illustrated by felines. A delight for children and adults.

Great for Little Ones, Too

I bought this book to read to my newborn son. Now that he is approaching 3 months, he finds the pop ups fascinating and the colors really catch his eye. I love reading this book to him and enjoy the pop ups and colors as much as my son. This book is already one of his favorites even though he is too young to understand the concepts presented in the book right now. I plan to get more of this author's books since I found this one to be so great!!!

Incredible!

I have been in printing and publishing for over 23 years and have been involved in the creation of many pop-up books. I am also a dedicated mother that looks for books that not only look good but teach my child as well. This book is by far the most creative, well designed pop-up book I have seen so far. I strongly suggest this book for parents of young children (although I really enjoyed it myself). Good job!
