NOT a pop-up book; information for pop-up book collectors

I gave this book 5 stars out of respect for the author, who should not be penalized for the actions of book sellers who call this book a pop-up book. I have no complaints with the author or the publisher; nowhere on the cover of the book does it claim to be a pop-up book. Although I know nothing about the subject matter of this book, it is a very attractive book. I saw this book listed on ebay as a pop-up book; the only picture in the ebay listing was a picture of the book cover. Yes, there is one, simple, small pop-up in the book, so I guess that it is technically a pop-up book, but I think that it is very misleading to call this a pop-up book without explaining that there is only one, simple, small pop-up.

WARRIORS

Great book, interactive. I couldn't believe how cool it was when my son was reading it. There are places you pull and the picture changes, flip down facts, etc. It is not a pop up book, it is better and for older children or adults. Very interesting, the artwook amazing.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Along the same lines as Pirates: Most Wanted, WARRIORS takes us behind-the-scenes to discover the true lives of long-lost warriors of old. This interactive book takes us into the lives of the Assyrians, the Spartans, Alexander and the Macedonians, the Celts, the Romans, Gladiators, the Vikings, the Samurai, the Ninja, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, Medieval Knights, the Aztecs, and the Zulus. What's great about this book, besides the facts and figures, is its ability to truly draw you into the world that it's describing. There are posters, envelopes filled with interesting cards, pop-ups, awesome graphics, and all sorts of fun things that you can spend your time getting lost in. This is the perfect reference book to use as a guide for that pesky book report, or just a good read that you can spend the day exploring in detail. Either way, you're sure to learn something, and how can your parents say no to that? Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"
