Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Classic Collectible Pop-Up

by Lewis Carroll and Robert Sabuda

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Classic Collectible Pop-Up Cover

Staff Pick

"Robert Sabuda's most recent popup book is as spectacular as his last one (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Popup) — a feat I didn't think possible. His three-dimensional version of Alice is so magical that it induces a sense of wonder that's rarely experienced outside of childhood, when everything is fresh and new. What a treasure! I await new Sabuda creations with the anticipation normally reserved for Philip Pullman or Lemony Snicket creations."
Recommended by Robin, Powell's City of Books

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"The quintessential Victorian children's classic, Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been gloriously re-envisioned by pop-up master Sabuda. The bizarre settings and rude creatures of Wonderland burst out with every turn of the page, starting with an ingenious peep-show rabbit hole and ending with an explosion of cards." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Sabuda brings Alice's world to life with breathtaking, three-dimensional images that are incredibly imaginative, intricately detailed, and perfectly executed." Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal

Review:

"This will very likely come to be seen as the definitive pop-up version of Alice, but it will also further establish Sabuda as the foremost visionary of the genre." Booklist

Review:

"[Sabuda] has created an object that is the most absorbing book/toy I've played with in a long time. The intelligent paper trickery on each spread is, well, awesome.... Sabuda has surprises on every spread, even given how well we all know Alice. Each scene builds the narrative (and I will not spoil the experience by describing them here), but the final spread is such an engineering tour de force that I can only sympathize with the expert Chinese printers and assemblers who laboriously constructed each copy by hand." Steven Heller, New York Times Book Review

Synopsis:

An irresistible pop-up adaptation by paper-engineering genius Robert Sabuda. Bestselling creator of The Night Before Christmas pop-up and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz pop-up (both of which were New York Times bestsellers), has outdone himself in this faithful adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic story. Pop-up illustrations done in the style of John Tenniel enhance this eye-popping, intricate book, guaranteed to be a favorite of families everywhere.

Synopsis:

This pop-up version of this classic features excerpts from Lewis Carroll's text.
