Customer Reviews

Exquisite both aesthetically and technically -- a POP-UP gem!

I just saw a copy of this charming little book at a flea market, and since I collect pop-ups, was able to appreciate it as an unusually beautifully designed and skillfully engineered example. The first reviewer is right about this being a great (dare I say "chick"?) gift for any occasion. The poems are indeed mostly familiar, as classics tend to be, but they are inspirational, and really do complement the flowers; the text/pop-up layout is pleasing to the eye as well. A real bargain from Marketplace sellers, but not many are left in the aftermarket. For good reason!

Looking for that special gift for someone special?

This innovative book combines the loveliness of "pop-up" flowers to surprise and delight the reader's eye, along with familiar, inspirational poetry. As a gift, it is appropriate for wedding anniversaries, birthdays, or as just a "no special reason" gift--one of our family's favorite new ideas!
