by David Deed
fantastic book, not a lot of information but the pop up art work is exceptional
by julie hopkins
Some ingeniously complex pop-up paper patterns, but somewhat pointless really.
by Amazon Customer
Super amazing illustrations..I would have given it 4.5 stars (if it was possible) half a star taken because the pop-up mechanisms needed to be a bit more developed prior to producing this book… This book is a must have if you are a pop-up book collector.

I bought this for friend for her birthday and she was absolutely blown away by it. It’s been so intricately designed and the art is just fantastic.

This pop up book is amazing, colourful and bold with some amazing Haeckel images.
One star had to be taken off as a couple of the pages don’t unfold 100% perfectly, for example I noticed the jellyfish should really pop from the page but has to be helped out as it stays flat.
