Quest for Camelot (Pop-up Storybook) (Landoll's)

ISBN 1569878900 - Manufactured in China. Books that are just 10 pages long and are based on movies never seem to be great, but this one is closer than most. While it's certainly lacking a lot of details, the pop-ups in this one are well worth it. Kayley dreams of growing up to be a knight, in a time when girls just don't get to be knights. When the evil knight, Ruber, kills Kayley's father and imprisons her mother, Kayley is the only one left to save Camelot from his plot. She makes a new friend, a blind warrior named Garrett, and the two manage to defeat Ruber and his henchmen. Kayley and Garrett are knighted by Arthur for saving the kingdom. The story feels a bit disjointed, since so much had to be fit into so little space. Fans of the movie might find that editing job to be a disappointment. The pop-ups, however, are superb. They are vibrant and colorful, each one in an entirely different way and a completely unique color scheme. From the tranquil blues of Kayley daydreaming to the fiery yellows and oranges of the battle with Ruber, this is one excellent surprise. My only complaint would be that Garrett's blindness is mentioned once and, since it's never followed up on, it feels like mentioning it was pointless. Parents of very young readers might have issues with Kayley's father's murder. The pages are thin cardboard and the pop-ups are even thinner, so they're easily torn. - AnnaLovesBooks
