Just have to tell you about the pop up book my daughter got for Christmas. I only allow her to read it under supervision right now because it’s quite clear it isn’t going to last long if she gets to play with it.

Part of that is just her history with pop up books. All the ones she have have been pretty badly damaged. But this one is just so beautiful!

It’s called One Red Dot, and the work inside it is just amazing. The cover is quite plan, and it is in part a counting book. The reader is also supposed to find the red dot, however, and there is the delight.

The pop ups are not so basic as you might expect. My personal favorite is the “eight obedient orbs” - there’s really something to se. It’s amazing how they can fold such amazing things into a book.

It does feel strange to tell my daughter she can’t read one of her books freely. Every other book she owns she can pull off the shelf any time and enjoy. I just accept the damage. But this one is just amazing visually but clearly not up to abuse as well, so it goes on MY shelves. We still read it regularly and on demand.
