Horton Hears a Who and Other Classic Dr. Seuss Stories - Perfect for Kids' Bedtime Reading and Early Childhood Education

This book delights me! The best pop-up I've seen, it combines a story I love with these wonderful little pop-up worlds.This version of Dr. Seuss's story is much more than a simple pop-up book. Many pages have multiple pop-up images. Scenes that include chains or ropes -- such as the one where the Wickersham gang of monkeys try to put Horton in a cage, or when Who bricklayers are hanging off the side of a building -- are created with actual strings that connect the various pieces of paper. Some pages have flaps with more pop-ups inside. There are also pieces you can manipulate -- you can turn the hands on the Whoville clock and rotate a wheel so that a Who repairman hammers a nail. Every element is printed on sturdy paper that's about the thickness of a business card. The result is a feast for the eyes and fingers that will hold up to lots of use.The Dr. Seuss tale is a touching classic, about an elephant named Horton that is determined to help tiny creatures because "a person's a person, no matter how small."David Carter is a master paper engineer, designing 75 pop-up books before this one.
