I was given the opportunity to review the new pop-up book, A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens and illustrated by Chuck Fischer. I must first say, that I was excited to recieve this old classic but when I opened up the book, I was floored. I was literally blown away. This book is truly an expression of artistic talent.
When you open the book, you will find pop-ups between more pop-ups and even in those, you will find more pop-ups. Bruce Foster is the geniuos behind these pop-up. and they are simply amazing. The colors in the pictures and pop-ups are beautiful, rich and engaging. The pictures and characters are depicted with intricate details and expression. So, while you are reading this book to your little, they can simply relate the pictures with the story.
Each page a lso comes with a keepsake booklet tucked inside a small pocket that includes the text of the story. I just love it! I even caught my husband reading this classic and he is really not a book lover.
This book is a must-have. Period. It makes a wonderful Christmas gift that will be cherished for a life-time. This is the type of book you want to make sure you put away somewhere safe and sound, to be taken out for Christmas and passed down to your kids for their kids.
A Christmas Carol can be purchased at Amazon.com
