Sabuda brings Alice's world to life with breathtaking, three-dimensional images that are incredibly imaginative, intricately detailed, and perfectly executed. Carroll's text has been significantly abridged, and although some scenes are a bit choppy, the quickly paced narrative retains the flavor of the original. Sabuda's illustrations pay homage to John Tenniel's artwork, while providing a fresh look at the story and offering details that add greatly to the reading experience. The events unfold in six glorious spreads, each featuring a large pop-up and a narrow booklet that opens into several pages containing the text as well as additional pop-ups. The first scene depicts Alice and her sister on the riverbank, and the faces of several Wonderland characters are camouflaged among the background trees. A pull-up panel provides a "Victorian peep show" view of Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Throughout, shiny foils highlight items such as pots and pans, and felt adds textured detail to the Cheshire Cat and other fuzzy animals. A movable inset transforms the face of the Duchess's offspring from a baby's to a pig's. As a page is turned, a gardener raises his paintbrush and a piece of cellophane changes a white rose to red. In the final spread, a frightened Alice waves her arms beneath a delicate arch of cards. In addition to pulling off feats of paper engineering, the artist also manages to create compositions that provide an eye-pleasing balance of colors, shapes, and action. Much too delicate to circulate, libraries may still want to purchase this book for displays and just for showing off.

Robert Sabuda is often referred to as the "Prince of Pop-ups," Robert Sabuda is the best-known pop-up book artist working today, and is the creator of the remarkable Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and The Night Before Christmas Pop-up.
He has also created books that use a variety of media in inventive ways. Examples range from simulated handmade Egyptian papyrus for his book Tutankhamen's Gift, to paper cut to look like mosaics in Saint Valentine, to paintings that resemble stained glass for Arthur and the Sword.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

This book is a masterpiece and a work of art, as far as I'm concerned. It is also the kind of book I always dreamed of having as a child. Every page has been lovingly and painstakingly hand-crafted to bring all your favorite scenes to life. You'll feel like you're right there in Wonderland! My favorite page is the Rabbit's house with an overgrown Alice bursting out. The house is four dimensional, and you can even look in the windows and see carrot-patterened wallpaper! That's how much attention to detail there is! At the Mad Hatter's tea party, you'll find saucers made with foil, and the rabbit and some other animal characters have a furry texture. There is also a piece that opens up like a telescope, and allows you to peep down the rabbit hole. Every page has so much going on, and since your eyes can only absorb so much, you'll most likely discover something new on your second viewing. For example, the first time I read this book, I didn't notice that one of the white roses turns red, when you open a page. This book has six full page pop ups, and some smaller pop ups in the pages within the page. The price is right, too! I mean, you couldn't find six pop-up greeting cards for the same price. I also like how the illustrations are faithful to the original book. The house of cards attacking Alice is amazing. I even have this book spread open on my coffee table so I can display a different page each day, and just marvel at it! |

I bought a copy of the Alice pop-up book for my little girl as a birthday present. When we opened it I was amazed! This is no cheesy, kiddie pop-up book; it's definitely a masterful work of art. Each page has beautiful pop-ups that swirl, move, and are delightful. Robert Sabuda is a master and I have since bought two others (the "Wizard of Oz" is a treasure). They can be a bit pricey at $25, so buy them here to get the best deals. My daughter loves all of them, including Cookie Count, because of the movement and colors. I love to open each page because it's like unwrapping a beautiful gift. |

My 2 kids are transfixed by this pop-up book. The vibrant colors and imaginative pop-ups are a wonder. We especially like the sequence that shows Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
Be careful buying this for younger kids. My 3-year old was drawn to the pop-ups like a moth to the flame, and he damaged a few of them.
This is a full version of the book - which is wonderful - since the small folds out sections with text also contain miniature pop-ups. |

I've never written a review of any book before, but am compelled to do so now. (I'm not a very good writer!)
I've been collecting pop-ups for a long time, and this is the Pop-Up to End All Pop-Ups!
This book exceeds all my expectations of any Pop-Up. Innovative, top quality, surprise after surprise, includes full story, just superb!
I cannot give this book enough stars. If 5 is the highest, I give this book a 15! You will not be disappointed!
