Cinderella - A Three Dimensional Fairy-Tale Theatre Book {Pop-up Type}

Pop up books always provide plenty to look at and seemingly something new each time. However I'm always hesitant to get one because those with pull, push, and turn levers always tear and do not last. This is a hearty book with double thick flaps on each side of the dual pages that open like curtains on the stage. Simple flaps that will last and not tear easily if handled appropriately.

I love this book and I'm completely enchanted. I definitely wouldn't mind adding others of Jane Rey's creatively shaped books to my shelf. My three year old is getting to be familiar with various fairy tales and Cinderella is one of them and thus this book had her open mouthed and silently just watching. She was watching and examining each page looking to see what was going on and coming next. It's an experience and a memory not soon to be forgotten.

The book is suggested for ages five and up and while I'll let my preschooler look at it with me I would not leave it out unsupervised less she get to curious and think something “should move”. This book would make a great addition to anyone's shelf and an excellent gift.

Thanks to Candlewick Press for providing a copy for review.
